"Fury's Ability to Take a Punch Has Worsened," Says Bradley

Former world champion and boxing commentator Timothy Bradley believes that former world champion Tyson Fury's ability to take a punch has significantly deteriorated.

"Tyson needs to run more. As you age, you do less of that work. But Fury should catch up because he needs good lungs against Usyk.

Fury is like damaged goods. I don't want to lie, he is exactly that. His ability to take a punch has sharply deteriorated. Usyk landed a left early in the fight, and it already shook Tyson. I saw his eyes roll slightly. That punch threw him off a bit.

If Fury engages in exchanges in the rematch, he will have some success against Usyk. But what happens when Oleksandr lands?

And Ngannou already knocked him down. How many times has he been knocked down in his career? Six or seven times? Tyson no longer believes in his chin like he used to, so he kept Usyk at a distance.

Usyk is going to make adjustments and make the rematch significantly easier for himself," Bradley said.

The rematch between Usyk and Fury could take place in December 2024.
