Tyson Fury’s trainer reveals Gypsy King’s lethal weapon that could be crucial in Oleksandr Usyk rematch

TYSON FURY lost the mind games battle with Oleksandr Usyk but his trainer “trusts” him to get Riyadh revenge. Irishman Andy Lee, a former middleweight world champion, is cousin to the Gypsy King and a key advisor. Fury, 36, was devastated before their first heavyweight clash in May after wife Paris suffered a miscarriage six months into her pregnancy.

And Lee admits he will not know until the first bell on Saturday if the first professional defeat of Fury’s career has robbed him of his fighting spirit and unshakeable self-belief. Lee said: “Only he will know. He is very determined and confident. But fighters are always a little bit hesitant after a first loss. They are not as sure of themselves.

“But when you are dealing with Tyson Fury, you’re not dealing with a normal human or a normal fighter. “You are dealing with a unique person — I trust the man.”. Along with his 6ft 9in frame, freakish mobility, powers of recovery and showmanship, Fury’s complicated brain is another fascinating facet.

Fury now has to rebuild his ego and game plan to beat the man he spitefully dismissed as an “ugly, little rabbit sausage”. The Ukrainian had the psychological edge at a press conference in October when he produced photos of his brutal ninth-round KO on the way to a split-decision win.
