"There will be a rematch. I think it will be better than the first fight. They both know each other, they shared the ring, and they will strive to use the experience they gained in the fight as an advantage to defeat their opponent. Tyson is only asking for a rematch because he thinks he can win. He believes in himself. Everybody thinks Usyk is the best, so let's see what Tyson does. He called me and said he wants a rematch, so we're in business," Warren said.
