Fury vs Usyk 2: What adjustments must Briton make to win heavyweight rematch?

Before their first fight, the unpredictable Fury refused to make eye contact with Usyk at one face-off before shoving his opponent a day later, but it was the antics of his father which dominated the headlines.

John Fury appeared to headbutt a member of Usyk’s entourage early in fight week. He was a part of his son’s anarchic corner on fight night, barking instructions as his voice drowned out head trainer SugarHill Steward.

Warren expects Team Fury to be on their best behaviour and for John – who will once again work the corner – to take a backseat.

“There were a couple of moments where being a parent became more important to him than being a cornerman, which I totally understand, but this time the corner will operate differently – it has to,” Warren says.

Fury’s wife is also expected to watch from ringside. Paris Fury has not seen her husband for three months, while he has been in camp.

Paris, at six months pregnant, lost their baby on the eve of the first bout and was unable to join her husband in Riyadh.

“I could really feel her absence. You can usually feel her influence in the dressing room,” Warren says.

“But I’m quite sure Paris will be there for the rematch, and there have also been no cuts this time, so I hope the whole aspect of what is happening outside of the ring changes what happens inside it.”

Although only Fury and his trusted insiders will truly know how physically and mentally ready he was in May, Itauma has noticed a change in mindset.

“He’s definitely more on it,” he says.

“I’m not saying he wasn’t before but I do feel like he’s more on the ball.

“Tyson may not show it in public but there’s been a switch in his mentality which could win him the rematch.”
