"Self-confidence is off the charts": the famous heavyweight spoke about the rematch between Usyk and Fury

Famous British heavyweight Dillian Whyte (30-3, 20 KOs) expressed confidence that his compatriot Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) will find the rematch with Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) more difficult than the first fight on May 18. According to the 36-year-old boxer, the Ukrainian has gained important experience and confidence that he can even knock out his opponent.

White said this in an interview with the iFL TV YouTube channel. The former interim world champion according to the World Boxing Council (WBC) added that Fury must prepare even better for the second fight against Usyk, otherwise, the Briton will suffer another defeat.

"This is a super-heavyweight division, anything can happen here, so you can't write Fury off. Tyson is also human, he had a lot of hard fights, and a lot of knockdowns. Maybe it had a negative impact on him. Or maybe he no longer has the motivation to fight. If Fury trains hard, he will have a chance in the rematch. But now Usyk's confidence is off the charts - he used to think he could outbox Fury, and now he knows he can hurt Tyson. So Fury will have a tougher task this time," said White.

Fury and Usyk will rematch on December 21. We already know the fantastic prize money for the second fight. Two weeks ago, our compatriot gave up the International Boxing Federation (IBF) belt and lost the title of absolute world champion.

Later it became known that the IBF left Usyk no choice. This situation angered the head of the Absolute Fighting Championship (IBF), Dana White.

Ukrainian Oleksandr also announced his radical plan to continue his career after the rematch with Tyson. Usyk named the most difficult moment of the fight with the Briton. Our boxer also spoke frankly about his opponent.
