Five HUGE changes Tyson Fury has made for Usyk rematch including ditching dad from corner and not speaking to his wife

TYSON FURY is pulling out all the stops in an effort to beat Oleksandr Uysk. The Gypsy King was dethroned from his spot as heavyweight champion by the Cat during their fight in May. That bout saw Usyk crowned as the undisputed heavyweight for 24 years following a split-decision points victory.

While their rematch will not feature the same illustrious title after the IBF belt was vacated and later won by Daniel Dubois, there is still plenty on the line. Should Fury, 36, reclaim his crown, it could set up another fight to complete a stunning trilogy, while Usyk, 37, will be hoping to maintain his unbeaten record - all of which will feature huge pay days.
Below we take a look at five things Fury is doing differently this time around to try and land the winning blow in the Riyadh showdown. Fury revealed he has not spoken to his wife or kids for months as part of his fight preparation telling Queensberry Promotions: "It’s been a long camp, hasn’t seen my wife and kids in three months.

"I haven’t spoken to [my wife] at all in three months. Not one word, sacrificed a lot. But it’ll all be worth it, 100 per cent.". Paris responded to the comments on social media by saying she fully supports him as it is "what he needs". The couple got married back in 2008 and have now had seven children together; Venezuela, Prince John James, Prince Tyson II, Valencia Amber, Prince Adonis Amaziah, Athena and Prince Rico.
