Former opponent Otto Wallin believes that ‘The Gypsy King’ must keep Usyk at length if he is to win the rematch.
Speaking to talkSPORT he said: “It’s a tough one. Just looking at him, he’s a big guy so he has to keep Usyk off him and outbox him.

“He must keep him away but he’s difficult Usyk, he’s a very good fighter.
“The way he hurt Fury last time was pretty amazing. For a smaller guy coming up from cruiserweight to hurt Fury like that and almost take him out.
“Fury has to be very smart and keep him off him, use his long arms and when he gets close, tie him up and lean on him.
“But he was trying to hold him last time and Usyk got out of it and just kept punching.”
Will it be repeat or revenge? Let us know in the comments.
