Squeamish? Scared? How Tyson Fury will be affected by Oleksandr Usyk defeat

With Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury II upon us, Olympian and heavyweight contender Frazer Clarke breaks down the heavyweight title rematch and explains how ‘The Gypsy King’ can get it right the second time of asking. Eight months on from that historic night, Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury are ready to do it all again. A lot of people have been asking, did that first career defeat change Tyson? For me, absolutely not. It will have only spurred him on.
Throughout boxing history there are very few who go undefeated and some of the best of all time suffer defeat more than once. With what happened last time, Fury will be even more up for this. Fury does have a lot of miles on the clock. But defeat last May won’t have taken anything from him. I have heard the same thing about myself since losing to Fabio Wardley. I have heard because I’ve been knocked out I might be a bit squeamish next time I’m in the ring. A bit scared. They couldn’t be more wrong. After something like that, you are more determined than ever.

I might have been a bit naïve to think I couldn’t get knocked out. In the same way, Tyson Fury simply did not think he could lose and he did. It is the game we are in. But things like that doesn’t deter me and they do not deter Fury. If you think for one second he will be afraid to take a shot, afraid to mix it up, you are absolutely wrong. Boxers aren’t normal people. I’m not worried about getting hit again, I’m excited to see how much better I can be and I’m sure Tyson is the exact same.
