"It's going to be his new version". Usyk's cutman made bold prediction for a rematch with Tyson Fury

Ras Anber, the cutman for WBC, WBA, WBO, and IBO heavyweight titleholder Oleksandr Usyk, has shared his prediction for the rematch with Tyson Fury.

"Doing it [winning] again would be great, but we did it when it was necessary, for the undisputed title. When everyone said he wouldn't do it, when everyone picked Fury as the winner, we were the underdogs — everyone thought Fury was too big, too smart. Fury thought he was too big, too strong for Usyk, and we did it the first time — that's what's important.

Honestly, I don't think you saw the best version of Usyk. The Usyk you would have seen on the originally scheduled date would have been the best version of Usyk. The second fight [date] made him peak, he was ready, and I think you would have seen a completely different Usyk. You might see that Usyk this time," said Ras Anber.

It is worth noting that in May, Usyk defeated Fury by split decision, sending the "Gypsy King" to the canvas in the ninth round. The Ukrainian took the WBC heavyweight belt from the Briton.

The rematch between Usyk and the "Gypsy King" will take place in Riyadh and is scheduled for December 21.

In related news, Fury recorded a warning to Usyk, stating that he has finished his run and is preparing for the rematch on December 21.

Usyk didn't stay silent for long and recorded his own video response, once again calling Fury "a greedy belly" and expressing his happiness about Fury's training.
