Tyson Fury endured a difficult setback against Oleksandr Usyk in May when he suffered the first loss of his professional career.
The result meant Fury lost his WBC crown, but he’ll have an opportunity for revenge when the pair collide again later this year.
Fury activated his immediate rematch clause and he looks set to challenge the Ukrainian on December 21.
Ricky Hatton, a longtime supporter of Fury, has spoken about the second meeting and he’s confident that Fury can level the series against Usyk.
“My money’s on Tyson in the rematch. I think he’ll change the game plan,” said Hatton when speaking to Prime Casino.
“He was back pedalling away so fast when Usyk was coming forward, he lost all of his power. He had no leverage going backwards. If he holds his feet, I don’t think Usyk would be so keen to come forward.”
