Experienced trainer breaks down the tactics that could decide battle to be crowned undisputed heavyweight world champion
This is likely to be a very close fight. You’ve got two unbeaten fighters, one in Oleksandr Usyk who has never been knocked down as a professional and the other, in Tyson Fury, who was asleep on the floor against Deontay Wilder and still got up. Fury has a two‑stone weight advantage, as well as a big height and reach edge. So he will use his jab to keep the fight at distance. Usyk has to get inside, hit him to the body and head and move off – a bit like guerilla warfare. If he tries to stand off and box Fury he’s going to be at a disadvantage.
