FRANK WARREN claims Tyson Fury knows Oleksandr Usyk’s biggest weakness ahead of their blockbuster rematch.
Fury, 36, and Usyk, 37, are set to lock horns on December 21 at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The Gypsy King suffered his first ever loss against the Ukrainian, who beat him via split decision in May.
However, the British superstar’s promoter Warren, 72, insists his fighter has learned his lessons and is set for a very different bout with his undefeated rival.
The boxing entrepreneur claims Usyk appeared especially vulnerable when he received body shots.
Fury’s rep claims the heavyweight star didn’t exploit that weakness enough, but next time his client will “rectify” that error.

Warren told TNT Sports: “Usyk has a weakness that Tyson did not exploit like he should have, which is his body.
“And I’m telling you something, that will be rectified. Of course [Fury needs to be more aggressive].
“Even when he was backing off him, there was quite a bit in those early rounds of that fight where Tyson was in the corner.
“And he’s in the corner and he’s tucking up and Usyk was being very aggressive.

“What Usyk does when he’s got you like that is stand square on, and that was when he was clipping him with that uppercut, he caught him every time with that.”
Fury thought he did enough to have his hand raised in his first meeting with Usyk.
And the Mancunian bruiser plans to take the fight out of the judges’ hands in their second successive rumble.
He said: “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 continued: “There’s no secret. I’m going in there to knock you out.
“Because I don’t think I’m going to get a decision no matter what I do.
“I don’t think I’m going to get a boxing decision.

“So I’m going to have to take it out of the judges’ hands like I did in America that time [against Deontay Wilder].
“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.”
