David Adeleye has sounded a cautionary note to Tyson Fury, remarking that unbeaten Oleksandr Usyk can't be "bullied", ahead of their much-anticipated rematch in December. 'The Gypsy King' picked up his first professional defeat at the hands of the Ukrainian this past May, concluding with a split-decision loss.
With the rematch on the horizon, the British fighter has indicated he'll increase his mass, despite declaring peak fitness for their initial meeting. The 36-year-old pugilist suggested he might enter the ring close to 20 stone for round two of their bout.
Posting his self-assurance, Fury has voiced his strategy alteration to ensure victory later in the year, stating a knockout is paramount to avoid the decision going to the scorecards and secure the heavyweight world championship title for the third time. "I needed to get Wilder out of there or he got me out of there and that's the type of fight it had to be. It had to be a 50/50 gunsling with the biggest puncher in history or else he'd have chinned me in round nine. Going into the rematch with Usyk, it's going to be the same," Fury claimed.

"I'm going to roll the dice and it's going to be you or me... best foot forward and swing away. I've never been afraid to get knocked spark out. I've always put it on the line every time."
He added: "I'm going to have to take it out of the judges' hands like I did in America that time and I've got to get him (Usyk) out of there. Hand on heart, I have to get him out of there to see victory."
