British boxer Fabio Wardley, who has sparred with both Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury, has offered his prediction for their upcoming rematch scheduled for December 21 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
I think it's a lot of the same, to be honest. Maybe, Fury will say that his camp wasn't ideal, or he wasn't in the best place or the best shape, or whichever else who, who knows… So maybe the loss was what he needed to go right 100 per cent back in and maybe he comes out differently. But if I was to put money on it, I'd say it goes pretty much the same way.

Usyk and Fury's first bout took place in May of this year in Riyadh, where Usyk won by split decision after going the full distance, becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion.
Usyk's professional boxing record stands at 22 wins (14 by knockout) and no losses, while Fury has 34 wins (24 by knockout), one loss, and one draw.
