"He's at the bottom": boxing legend Lennox Lewis speaks about the Usyk-Fury rematch

Former world heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis is looking forward to the rematch between Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) and Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs). The boxing legend admitted that it is difficult for him to make a definite prediction for the fight, but his compatriot will try to correct the mistakes he made in the fight on May 18.

Lewis said this in an interview with iFL TV, according to secondsout.com. According to the British ex-champion, Usyk is completely superior to his opponent in psychology, but Fury was already in a broken state after defeating Wladimir Klitschko, but managed to return to the top.

"Tyson is a guy who is up and down. I think he will review the fight and realize that there are a few things he has to fix. And he will do it. Usyk is a great fighter, he has great psychology, and his country is at war, so when they fight, he will be like a real warrior. It will be a serious fight and I can't wait to see it. Fury knows what he has to do. He's been at the bottom, he's been at the top, he's at the bottom now, and he knows what he needs to do to get back to the top," Lewis said.

We would like to remind you that in the first fight , Usyk defeated Fury by a split decision 114:113, 113:114, 115:112 and became the absolute world heavyweight champion.

A month after the fight, on May 18, the Ukrainian was forced to give up the International Boxing Federation (IBF) belt, which will be fought for by Anthony Joshua (26-3, 23 KOs) and Daniel Dubois (21-2, 20 KOs).

Before that, Oleksandr spoke categorically about what would happen if Tyson tried to disrupt the rematch. He also shared his expectations for the second fight with Fury and responded to accusations of cheating during the May 18 fight. In addition, Oleksandr told what he learned from this fight.

The legendary Wladimir Klitschko shared his expectations for the rematch between Usyk and Fury. And ex-champion Amir Khan disagreed with the forecasts for the boxers' second fight. In addition, Russian Alexander Povetkin attributed the success of our compatriot to Russia.

In turn, Russian boxing coach Andrei Ivichuk called Tyson the winner of the upcoming rematch with Oleksandr. And the Ukrainian named the only boxer he is interested in fighting after the second fight with the Briton.
