Former Opponent Gives Fury Pointers on Game-Plan

As Tyson Fury prepares for his upcoming fight against Oleksandr Usyk, former opponent Dave Allen has advised the Gypsy King to adopt the same tactics that won him his first world titles. Allen suggests that Fury should use his physical attributes and the strategies he employed in his 2015 victory over Wladimir Klitschko to defeat Usyk, who has never faced an opponent quite like Fury.

Caution and Trickery Key to Victory

Allan warns against underestimating Usyk's speed and craftiness, as he believes Fury could be susceptible to being floored. Instead, he advises Fury to start cautiously and employ lots of trickery to frustrate his opponent. Allen also suggests that if Usyk slows down, Fury's size advantage can come into play and he can use his strength to bully his way to victory.

Frustration and Feints

Allen draws from his own experience sparring with Usyk, noting that pressuring and bullying him didn't work. Instead, he suggests that Fury should focus on frustrating Usyk with lots of feints and movements. Allen emphasizes that Usyk's strength lies in his mental game rather than his physical attributes, and he believes Fury is the only man capable of beating him at his own game.

Fury Confident in Victory

Despite the challenge ahead, Fury is confident that he will emerge victorious and cement his legacy as the number one fighter of this era. He acknowledges Usyk's skills but believes that when faced with bigger opponents, Usyk tends to struggle. Fury is determined to break Usyk and deliver an emphatic stoppage victory.
