Is Fury ready for the rematch?

The Gypsy King looks set to be BIGGER for the second fight, giving his 6.9 million followers on Instagram a sneak peek at his "new look" following a workout.

Looking ahead to the big fight, he said: “I know what I’ve got to do; nothing drastic.

“I thought I won the fight last time. Me being involved in boxing my whole life, I’d have given him round 8, 9 and 10.

“The judges saw it a bit different. It was as close as it can be. I’ll make it right this time.”

• Age: 36
• Height: 6ft 9in

Usyk ready to pull the trigger?

Oleksandr Usyk is favourite for a reason - he's an absolute machine.

He comes across very confident of getting another win. And why shouldn't he? But, he's also aware that this fight will present his biggest challenge to date.

That's because he's expecting a much different fight and a different Tyson Fury this time around.

He said: "Because Tyson knows what I do and I know what Tyson does, it will be a different fight. I think [he is my toughest rival].

"I have much respect for all my opponents because it’s boxing, it’s a tough sport. It’s a very dangerous sport.

"This man is very famous around the world, he’s a big man, I’m a small man. But we have a second fight."
