Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk's first fight to crown the undisputed heavyweight champion in over two decades was a war, and promoter Frank Warren believes the rematch will be even bigger. Usyk secured a close split-decision victory, but Fury is determined to get his own back.
While acknowledging the fight as close, Warren believes Fury deserved the win. In an interview on The MMA Hour, Warren provided a breakdown of his scoring, giving his client the edge in several rounds. He admitted to Usyk's strong showing but believes Fury did enough to get his hand raised.
Fury is eager for the rematch, and his promoter is also confident the fight will be a spectacle, even surpassing the first encounter.

Speaking to Ariel Helwani, Warren said:
“One thing about it for sure, it was such a good fight, when the rematch happens, I think it will be bigger and better next time. It’s going to be interesting to see what the fight has taken out of both boxers... I’ve been doing this for 47 years now... can look at a guy and know how it’s affected him... So especially if the rematch happens, which I believe it will, one of them or both of them will be affected by being in that battle. It was such a battle and it took a lot out of them.” [H/t: MMA Fighting]
