Shannon Briggs has urged Tyson Fury to change his style ahead of his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.
‘The Gypsy King’ failed in his bid to become the undisputed heavyweight champion when he dropped a split-decision verdict to the Ukrainian earlier in the year.
But, he gets his chance at revenge when he battles it out with Usyk on December 21st in Saudi Arabia.
Shannon Briggs believes that Fury has the tools to switch up his style and could dethrone the WBC, WBA and WBO champion.

He told IFL TV: “Styles make fights but again you can never count Fury out, you don’t know if he’s going to come out right-handed or left-handed.
“You don’t know if he’s going to mug him like he did with Wilder in the third fight or if he’s going to box.
“Maybe he goes back and says I fought that fight wrong. I was curious why he didn’t use his legs more [against Usyk], walking him down.
“He was going to the ropes a lot, maybe he makes adjustments, says in this fight I’m going to mug him, lay on him and outwear him. Can Usyk’s conditioning take it?
“Tyson might switch up and say he was too light, in this fight I might go in big as a can. You can never tell with Fury.”
“This is his first loss. You know, I had my personal feelings, me as a fighter, when I think about the wealth that these guys have made and they’re still able to go it’s like, wow.
“Sometimes I wonder, ‘is this guy still hungry?’ That’s my question mark for him, if he’s still hungry.”
Will it be repeat or revenge? Let us know in the comments.
