Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Fury 2 - Former Canelo Alvarez rival makes emphatic predictionGetty
The pair collide again in December.

Billy Joe Saunders is backing Tyson Fury to win by knockout when he faces Oleksandr Usyk for a second time later this year.  

Fury and Usyk will participate in a rematch on December 21 and Saunders believes his good friend can level the series. 

Back in May, Usyk became undisputed heavyweight champion with a narrow points victory over Fury.  

The Ukrainian fighter turned the fight in his favour in the second half to secure the win, but Saunders is insistent that Fury can have success at the backend of 2024. 

“Tyson Fury, he can beat Usyk three times in one night with one simple game plan,” said Saunders when speaking to Talksport

“It’s very, very simple how to beat him. You have to use your size. You have to use your physical advantages. Every attribute you have you need to use to full effect with this man. 

“I believe Tyson will win the next fight, and I believe that he will win by knockout as well.”
