Mike Tyson Offers Advice to Tyson Fury Ahead of Usyk Rematch
Mike Tyson has stepped in to offer Tyson Fury crucial advice on how to defeat Oleksandr Usyk in their upcoming rematch. Usyk won their first encounter by a split decision, claiming the title of Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World. Despite the close scorecards, Usyk clearly outperformed Fury, particularly in the early and late rounds. Fury’s success was limited to the middle rounds, and a referee-imposed standing eight count in round nine prevented Usyk from securing a knockout.
### Fury’s Reaction to the Loss
Following the loss, Fury was vocal about his disbelief, attributing Usyk’s victory to the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia. Even after rewatching the fight, Fury maintained that he had won and dismissed Usyk as an amateur boxer. This reaction suggested that Fury was struggling to come to terms with his first professional defeat.
### Tyson’s Call for Focus
In a separate incident, Fury was seen being ejected from a bar in his hometown while intoxicated. However, Mike Tyson has now urged Fury to concentrate on preparing for the rematch. Tyson, who assisted Francis Ngannou in preparing for his bout against Fury, understands the challenge at hand. Although Fury narrowly won that fight via split decision, Ngannou posed a significant challenge, even knocking Fury down in the third round. Some spectators felt Ngannou deserved the win.
### Tyson’s Advice
Tyson emphasized the importance of thorough preparation, advising Fury to take the fight seriously and leave no stone unturned. He acknowledged the concerns regarding Fury’s mental state, as his brother Shane Fury has suggested retirement regardless of the outcome. With Fury set to earn over $100 million from the two fights with Usyk, questions about his motivation have arisen.
### Future Beyond Boxing
Fury is aware that the rematch with Usyk is the most critical fight of his career. A second loss would amplify calls for his retirement. Outside the ring, Fury has expressed that he does not intend to leave his wealth to his children, believing it would make them dependent and unappreciative. He wants them to earn their own success and value their achievements.
### The Road Ahead
Fury’s path to reclaiming his titles is complicated by Usyk vacating his IBF belt, leaving Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois to contest it. To have a shot at the undisputed title again, Fury must first overcome Usyk. His struggle to stay motivated between camps is well-documented, but he has plans for his post-boxing life.
The rematch with Usyk is pivotal for Fury’s career, and another defeat could accelerate his retirement. Tyson’s advice underscores the need for intense preparation and mental fortitude to secure a victory.
