Tyson Fury takes on Oleksandr Usyk on December 21st.
The heavyweights collide again after their enthralling first battle when the Ukrainian very nearly stopped Fury en-route to victory.
Fury survived a torrid round nine to take it to the scorecards but suffered the first professional defeat of his career, dropping a split decision to Usyk.
But, Warren, who co-promotes Fury, has suggested the aftermath of the first fight showed that Usyk had been more impacted by the bruising encounter than the Gypsy King.

‘I do [think it took a toll on Usyk], in that particular fight,” Warren told Sky Sports.
‘I went to both the fighters’ dressing rooms afterwards. I was in Tyson’s dressing room and obviously he was very disappointed, he felt he’d done enough to win the fight. It was a close fight.
‘There was a lot of life in him and I went into the dressing room to congratulate Oleksandr and he knew he’d been in a tough fight, that’s the toughest fight he’s ever had.’
‘He [Fury] knows what he’s got to do. He knows better than me, you, anybody,’ Warren said. ‘He’s been in the ring with him, he’s seen the guy’s strengths and weaknesses.
Will it be repeat or revenge? Let us know in the comments.
Fury to lose again i think i think this time Usyk will knock him out and that will be the end of Fury in my opinion .
Warran is an arsehole who talks utter crap of course he is only interested in the money he gets from any.fighter. Fury lost in round nine but the paid off ref saved his arse for a price. So in truth Sir Usyk beat him without entering the ring. However no one does anything honestly so he hD to fight the cheat. He finished him in round.9 but still more cheating. So Sir Usyk had to endure a further 3bwrongfull rounds and still win by at best for Fury 9 rounds to Sir Usyk and 3 rounds to the world’s greatest cheat. Total bollocks. No one mentions about the pain and embarrassment Fury encountered. He would I believe have left in a coffin that night but for the cheats. Warran is ready to be sacked by Turki Alalsheike. A d the biggest mistake was to allow Turki to be running boxing. He.is also a total fake joining Fury to send nasty messages to Sir Usyk The Greatest boxer that ever entered the ring. I believe Sir.Usyk will finish him on Saturday for good. Fury is and always has been terrified of Sir Usyk. But Sir Usyk is such a genuine perfect man he.does not want to hurt another boxer more than he has too. That must change on Saturday.
