Tyson Fury is aiming for an unprecedented level of focus ahead of his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk on December 21. The two men previously faced each other on May 18 in an undisputed heavyweight title fight. Fury was defeated for the first time in his career after losing a narrow split decision.

However, leading boxing promoter Eddie Hearn believes it could have the desired effect. The Matchroom Boxing president was recently interviewed by iFL TV ahead of Usyk vs. Fury 2, where he discussed the Briton’s comments that he had no contact with his wife.
