Fury fought Usyk in an outstanding undisputed heavyweight world title fight earlier this year, losing by split decision
Tyson Fury can defeat Oleksandr Usyk in their December rematch after the “hard lesson” of their first fight, says Top Rank president Todd DuBoef. Fury fought Ukraine's Oleksandr Usyk in an outstanding undisputed heavyweight world title fight earlier this year, losing by split decision. They are set to fight again in Riyadh on December 21 and DuBoef of Top Rank, Fury's co-promoter, believes the Briton can gain revenge in the rematch.
'In those middle rounds it felt like he was just teeing off on him and I think he just got a little lackadaisical and confident,' DuBoef said. 'I think he learned a lesson and it was a hard lesson. But I also believe the other guy's going to be better this time, because he has more confidence. 'I think his personality the way he is in the ring, is just his character. But I think he's going to not take things for granted and I think learned a hard lesson.
