Fury for the first time honestly admitted why he lost to Usyk

Former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) admitted that he lost to Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) because he was not focused on boxing. According to the Gypsy King, as the Manchester native is called, he was too often openly fooling around, which needs to be changed in the rematch.

Fury said this in an interview with the Pound 4 Pound with Kamaru & Henry YouTube channel. The British heavyweight stressed that he would make the appropriate adjustments in the second fight against the Ukrainian, after which he would achieve the desired result and take revenge for the defeat in May.

"I need to make adjustments. Less self-satisfaction, more focus, and less clowning around because I was doing a lot of clowning around in the ring, doing a lot of showmanship, and fooling around and I wasn't 100% focused. I always enjoyed boxing a lot and I think I was complacent, so I got caught. In the super heavyweight division, it only takes one punch. That's why I lost the ninth round 10-8, which deprived me of a split decision victory," Fury said.
