    Uncover Doc Browns DeLorean, go back to 2008 and begin his career all over again living the life of an actual athlete.

    Bring a hammer. Load his gloves with steel. More boar meat, while spiking Usyk's drinks

    Jokes aside, Fury's lanky giant body is aging faster than Usyk's athletic lifestyle, and I think the gap will be even further this time. Usyk by TKO. GK's recovery is superhuman though. Maybe the GOAT of recovery. (DO NOT CONFUSE WITH "CHIN"!)

    Don't let him get that leaping left hand whenever he wants it. Control the pace of the fight. Do a better job of following up when he lands. Do a better job of defending his body and attack Usyk there more.

    If Usyk is going to come right to Fury again, this is where a lack of power impacts Fury's ability to deter him.

    Learn to block punches, his defence was very poor v Usyk.

    Just stay on his feet and he will have a good chance of being handed a bs decision. He is Brit and it will set up a third fight.

    Watched the fight. So did the only people with an opinion that counts, the 3 judges. It was a close fight whether some find pain in accepting that or nor.

    Some recommendations here are suggesting that Fury should magically become a fighter he’s never been nor could have been.

    In that case, I say send in prime Mike Tyson wearing a Fury face mask. Everyone can suspend reality in so far as the 9” height difference goes and a few other “slight” physical differences between the two.

    At the very least get a message back to him to give him the heads up to wear a punch proof vest and protective head gear on May 18, 2024.

    All Fury has to do is work on his stamina, turn a 7 round win into a 10 round win.

    Fury will definitely defeat Usyk in the rematch.

    He got tired because he had to work harder than he was used to, it was something new for him... what he should do is either move less or improve his cardio to move more... I would bet on using the mirror technique... Usyk's main strength is the angles... he neutralizes the angles like Teofimo did with Lomachenko... then improve his feints, feint all night so as not to be a fixed target... and third, increase his power... he saw himself with less punch than with Wilder 2... and stop his blows prioritizing the body
