“It’s obvious” – Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk’s physiques compared as fans come to the same conclusion

Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury appear in sensational form, but fans think they know the outcome of the rematch.

Usyk and Fury met in a thrilling showdown in May, in which the former won the undisputed titles with a victory by split decision.

But the two will meet in a highly anticipated sequel later this month and are currently in full training camps.

Fury is training in Malta and posted images of his new physique, where fans noted that he looks considerably bigger than normal.

Usyk, on the other hand, also looks in impressive shape and showed off a more muscular physique, a sign that he is taking the preparations just as seriously.

The two men’s forms with two weeks to go have been compared, and boxing fans believe this helps indicate that Usyk will win the fight.

One fan reacted: “It’s obvious. Usyk will win the second fight. Fury is in trouble.”

Another agreed: “Usyk will win again. Different levels between them.”

One added: “I hope Tyson can do it and bring the belts back to them.”

“But I think it wasn’t even Usyk’s best performance that night, so I think we’ll see an even better Usyk and he’ll win.”

A viewer commented: Usyk looks disturbed, it’s a long night for Fury. »

Another concluded: “This guy is in shape so he won’t leave his greedy belly alone anymore.

But others disagreed, with one suggesting: “Fury, you look skinny, mean, a boxing machine.”

“I can’t wait to see you in the ring again. You’re a great fighter. And I think you’re going to win.”

Reports have indicated that Fury will be heavier than in his first clash with Usyk.

talkSPORT pundit Gareth A Davies even suggested Fury expects to weigh around 19 and a half stone, close to his career high.

He’ll need something different, considering Usyk looked superior in the opening clash and even threatened to earn a ninth-round stoppage.

And while packing on weight could increase his power, veteran fighter Spencer Oliver thinks it could backfire.

“If Tyson Fury can find the move he had in 2015 against Wladimir Klitschko,” he said on talkBOXING.

“But there are rumors that it could be a lot heavier for this one.

“Will it be his loss by doing that? Because if he’s trying to intimidate him, I think you’re playing into Usyk’s hands.

“Maybe he needs to set traps, he’s good at that. Use that uppercut he did in the sixth round and lure Usyk out.

“Maybe that’s the best way to go about it rather than trying to intimidate him.”
