Quotes corner

Tyson Fury: “I’m just going to use my boxing, like I did last time. I’m not going to do anything drastic, like a total change of gameplan because it’s not needed.

“If it was five, six or seven rounds the opposite way and it was a landslide, then fine. Then I’d have to change something drastically.

“But because it was a very close fight, I don’t really need to change much. I just need to be a little bit more focused and that’s it really.

“Why would I change something when I had control of the fight for maybe 80 per cent of it?

“I’m landing on him at will, head and body, lead right uppercuts, left hooks, right hooks to the body. Doubles at times. I don’t feel I need to change anything.

“I don’t think Usyk will change either because his key to victory has to be coming forward. He ain’t going to outbox me on the back foot. It’s not possible. So he has to come forward and make a fight of it.”

Lennox Lewis: "I think he (Fury) will be coming back to avenge his loss. I’ve been in that position and when you’re a competitor and a champion like Tyson Fury, he’s going to be looking at it and saying, I need to do something different.

“I feel he could be more serious in the first few rounds. I think the showboating and all that type of thing, he has to push that out of the way and be more focused on the win.”
