Usyk and Fury meet again this year.

Amir Khan is backing Tyson Fury to level the series against Oleksandr Usyk when the heavyweight pair clash again later this year.  

December 21 is the reported date for the rematch as Fury looks to become champion against the man who handed him the first defeat of his career. 

Last month, Usyk produced a stunning second half performance to defeat Fury, including a memorable ninth round where he forced Fury to take a count.  

An immediate rematch looks set to take place and Khan believes Fury can improve next time. 

“Tyson Fury will do a more clinical job in winning the fight in the rematch. I think he will go back to the game plan, and he will fix himself up,” said Khan when speaking to Fastest Payout Online Casinos

“He's the underdog now and he has to go in and prove he's the champion. And I really believe he will. He has it in him, that Gypsy blood, they're tough.”
