Frank Warren has tipped Tyson Fury to avenge his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk.
The British heavyweight was beaten by Usyk in May via a split-decision verdict from the judges at ringside.
But, he gets an immediate chance at revenge when he battles it out with the Ukrainian on December 21st in Saudi Arabia.
His long time promoter Frank Warren was in bullish mood looking ahead to the clash when recently speaking to Sky Sports
He said: “I thought in the seventh round of that fight he [Fury] caught him [Usyk] with a tremendous upper cut and I thought he was going to stop him in the next round.
“But in the next round, Usyk came out and caught Tyson with a good shot on the nose.
“Tyson lost a lot of his momentum, he kept touching his nose and his eyes, and that was the turning point in the fight. The next round Tyson was in trouble, but Usyk couldn’t finish off the job.
“Tyson came through it and even came up with a win in the last round. It was a fight of two halves. He [Tyson] knows what he has to do, can he do it? He’s been in some tough fights, so has Usyk now.
“Usyk has shown he can be hurt – I mentioned that seventh round, where his legs were all over the place when he got caught – and we know he doesn’t like it to the body. Tyson knows that now, so now we see if they can put their respective game-plans into action and do it.”
