It seems that the skeptical jokes about Usyk's "weak" punch, which supposedly couldn't trouble Fury, are now a thing of the past. Oleksandr has proven that he has taken his endurance to a whole new level and is now ready for even more aggressive championship rounds.

Nevertheless, before the rematch, he should also address several crucial aspects.

What to expect from Usyk in the fight against Fury?

First of all, don't expect Usyk to cautiously close the distance, fight on the back foot, or avoid exchanges with Tyson in the rematch.

On the contrary, he will likely aim to press forward quickly and aggressively, forcing Fury onto the ropes and into the corners of the ring, creating opportunities to land new combinations to the body and head.

Additionally, this time, he will likely step back to a slightly greater distance during breaks in action, preventing Tyson from landing his devastating uppercuts. Usyk has also gained a better feel for the power of Fury's punches and now has a clearer sense of whether he is prepared to trade blows or not.

Usyk’s chances of winning

The chances remain as significant as they were before the first fight. The only factor that could hinder Usyk is Fury's revitalized jab and quick footwork in the opening round.

If the Gypsy King truly learns from his defeat, we can expect much more work at range from him, along with fresher and more provocative footwork.

However, Usyk is now likely to be far bolder in closing the distance, perfecting his heavy overhand and parallel hooks. And if Tyson decides to "play Ali" again, this time, Oleksandr will undoubtedly bring him down.

Fury fans, ahead of his fight with Usyk, were most eager to know whether the bout with Ngannou should be seen as a sign of their idol losing form or if Tyson was simply luring Oleksandr into a trap with such a lackluster performance against the Cameroonian.

On one hand, looking at Fury’s current form, it’s clear that he’s still capable of a lot—his knockout power combined with swift combinations remains intact.

On the other hand, his well-honed game plan and late-round bursts may no longer be enough to surprise someone as intelligent and technically adept as Usyk.

What to expect from Fury in the fight against Usyk?

Surprisingly, in just one fight, Tyson lost everything he once so proudly boasted about. Suddenly, Usyk's punches no longer seem so weak, and the reigning champ's size has ceased to be a source of mockery.

Tyson dug his own grave by trying to weather Usyk's attacks, hoping to go full throttle after the midpoint and shock Oleksandr with his combinations. In reality, he absorbed fairly basic punches during close exchanges and failed to execute timely counterattacks.

The key adjustment we’re likely to see in the rematch is Fury finally unleashing his right hand and the right hook that seemed so necessary in the first fight—especially in moments when Usyk caught him loading up for a big shot.

Fury’s chances of winning

It may sound cliché, but Fury’s best chance of victory lies in classic defensive boxing. Of course, we’re used to seeing Tyson fight with his hands down, throwing punches from his torso.

This approach works well enough against opponents like Ngannou, Chisora, or Wilder, whose punches can often be evaded through head and upper-body movement. However, as it turned out, this wasn’t enough to avoid Usyk’s precision strikes.

This time, Tyson is likely to focus on better protecting his head, adopting a wider stance, and preventing Oleksandr from slipping directly under his jab. While Fury has clearly lost some speed, he still has the ability to assess his skills realistically and, most importantly, learn from his mistakes.

Fury vs Usyk prediction 

All our admiration for "how fast he is for a heavyweight!" was shattered when Tyson failed to catch the elusive Usyk and ended up exposing himself to punches. The Gypsy King inevitably began to decline, losing the toned physique that had impressed fans during training camp.

Fury is well aware of this and will try to come in weighing no more than 110-112 kg this time, which will enhance his mobility and allow him to move more effectively with slips and counters.

But no matter how aggressively both fighters start this bout, no doubt that after the halfway point, they will noticeably slow down and try to carefully navigate the fight to the decision.

Of course, in the final seconds, we could see a hard exchange, but it's unlikely to give either fighter a clear points advantage. Considering Fury's improved accuracy and potential speed, as well as Usyk's growing stamina and excellent game plan, better avoid betting on the favorite and instead lean toward a wager on a judges' decision in this fight.
