Boxing legend Mike Tyson, believes that the British boxer’s tendency to engage in showmanship during the first fight may have inadvertently hindered his performance.
While Fury’s flamboyant style has undoubtedly captivated fans worldwide, it may have distracted him from his primary objective of winning the fight.
Speaking to talkSPORT he said: “Hey listen, Usyk surprised everybody.
“I think Tyson Fury played around too much, I think he needs to be taking this fight seriously and hopefully we get a different result to last time.”
