Mike Tyson Has Given Tyson Fury Advice On How To Beat Oleksandr Usyk In Their Rematch.

Mike Tyson has stepped up with crucial advice for Tyson Fury on how to conquer Oleksandr Usyk in their highly anticipated rematch. Usyk clinched victory in their first bout via a split decision, becoming the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World. Although the scorecards reflected a tight contest, Usyk’s dominance was evident throughout the fight, particularly at the start and end. Fury’s successes were primarily in the middle rounds. A potential knockout by Usyk in round nine was halted by the referee’s standing eight count.

Following the loss, Fury struggled to accept the result. In his post-fight interview, he claimed Usyk’s victory was influenced by the geopolitical situation in Ukraine and Russia. Despite reviewing the fight, Fury maintained his belief that he was the true winner and dismissed Usyk as an amateur boxer. This reaction highlighted Fury’s difficulty in coping with his first defeat.

Tyson’s Reaction

Tyson has advised Fury to dedicate himself fully to the rematch, emphasizing the importance of rigorous preparation. Mike Tyson, who has firsthand experience of training for high-stakes fights—having helped Francis Ngannou prepare for his bout with Fury—knows the value of meticulous training. Despite winning that fight via a split decision, Fury faced a strong challenge from Ngannou, who managed to knock Fury down in round three and lasted the distance, with some believing Ngannou deserved the win. Tyson has urged Fury to leave nothing to chance for the upcoming rematch.

“Take it serious,” Tyson stressed.

Fury faces additional challenges regarding his motivation. His brother, Shane Fury, has suggested retirement regardless of the rematch’s outcome. Additionally, with over $100 million set to be earned from the two Usyk fights, Fury is financially secure, which may impact his drive.

Fury’s Post-Boxing Plans

With Usyk vacating his IBF belt, the undisputed title fight is no longer on the table. Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois are set to compete for the vacant title, meaning Fury must defeat Usyk to position himself for future opportunities. Fury has openly discussed his struggles with maintaining motivation between training camps and his plans for life beyond boxing. He has stated that he does not intend to pass his wealth to his children directly, believing it would lead to a lack of appreciation and self-reliance.

“I want my kids to get their own money, do their own things, and be their own people. I don’t believe in just giving all your money to your kids as it might make them weak and spoiled. They could end up being disappointed with their lives if they’ve done nothing for themselves,” Fury explained. He also noted that gifting expensive items like a Lamborghini could be dangerous and unappreciated.

The rematch with Usyk represents a pivotal moment in Fury’s career. A second consecutive loss could intensify calls for his retirement, adding pressure to an already high-stakes fight.
