Lennox Lewis expects Usyk vs Fury rematch to be better than the first fight

Lennox Lewis expects Usyk vs Fury rematch to be better than the first fight

Former heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis is expecting the upcoming title fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury to be perhaps even better than the first one as he expects Fury to take this rematch much more seriously, and even come better prepared.

Lewis says it’s going to be a tough fight for both fighters, mentally and physically.

He says they will both want to win this fight and it’s going to be a mental and a physical challenge.

He adds in the first fight, one fighter was more serious than the other, but now it’s a situation where they are having another fight, and Fury has to win this fight so he is going to be more focused, and a lot more serious this time.

Lewis says both fighters are going to be using their intelligence, and their ring IQ.

He further says he likes Tyson with a little bit more weight as he’s always a good fighter even with weight on, and with weight he can push Usyk back.

Lewis says there are a lot of different things that Fury can do to unhinge Usyk and make it a harder fight for him to win.

Usyk will rematch Fury for heavyweight supremacy next Saturday.
