🚨 Tyson Fury urged to avoid making error he made against Oleksandr Usyk by boxing legend Roy Jones Jr

 

Roy Jones Jr has given his assessment on the heavyweight clash between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.

Fury and Usyk are set to battle it out again on December 21st.

‘The Gypsy King’ failed in his bid to become the undisputed heavyweight champion when the Ukrainian beat him by split-decision in May.

Looking ahead to the huge showdown boxing legend, Roy Jones Jr. thinks the Brit got his tactics all wrong in the first fight.

Speaking to talkSPORT Jones said:

“What I do understand is that Fury is one of the best guys at making adjustments.

“Eight years ago I told him he can beat any of the heavyweights out there, he can beat all of them.

“But he made a big mistake, he did what he did against Wilder against Usyk.

“He knew Wilder couldn’t fight if he backed him up so he backed him up and beat him.

“Why would you go there and back off from Usyk? Usyk is a small guy, you back off from him and it gives him confidence.

“Look what happened. Usyk now knows that he can put Fury down, and it could work for him or against him.

“If he goes out there as the normal methodical Usyk, he could beat him again.”
