Paulie Malignanggi believes that Tyson Fury is no longer the same fighter he once was, and he will not beat Oleksandr Usyk in Saturday’s rematch.

Fury decides to take revenge for his own loss of split decision to Usyk in May, when he meets the Ukrainian for the second time in Riyad.

Fury was given eight points after tripping over the ropes following a powerful attack from his rival, and Malignaggi feels his three fights with Deontay Wilder, in which he fell four times, are starting to catch up with him.

“I don’t know if Wilder and Fury are the same after these three fights,” the 41-year-old said talkSPORT Boxing.

“Wilder certainly didn’t look the same as Fury to me, his impact resistance was always one of the best.

“He got up from Deontay Wilder’s punches that would have made buildings collapse, and now Oleksandr Usyk, a former cruiserweight, turned him around and dropped him in the first fight.

“What are the lasting effects of the Wilder trilogy?

“Who is one of the most devastating boxers in history.”

The “Gypsy King” suffered the first defeat in his 36-fight professional career, but announced that he would end the 37-year-old’s career on Saturday.

Usyk remains undefeated in his 22-fight professional career, and in May he won the undisputed heavyweight title, the first man in the four-belt era to do so.

Former world champion Malignaggi believes that Usyk, who vacated the IBF belt after the first fight, will repeat the feat.

“I will choose Usyk,” he added.

“I don’t think Fury has it anymore.

“It’s no disrespect to Fury.

“I’ve always loved Fury, I’m just not sure if he can bring him back.”

Frank Warren today revealed that a third fight between the two teams is in the contract – provided Fury emerges victorious and neither retires – while the long-awaited clash with Anthony Joshua could be an alternative option for the Manchester fighter.

Tyson Fury described both Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois as “very constrained” compared to him ahead of his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.

Fury, who saw Dubois defeat Joshua in five rounds at Wembley Stadium in September, is preparing for a second fight with Usyk on December 21 in Riyad, seven months after his first professional defeat against split decision for the undisputed title of heavyweight champion.

The ‘Gypsy King’ insists he will box in a similar fashion when he faces the Ukrainian for the unified heavyweight titles, as well as facing his rival in midfield, something he believes both Joshua and Dubois were unable to do , when they stood against him.

– What can you expect from me? Fury said during his face-to-face meeting with Usyk TNT Sports.

“Basically the same thing I did before.

“Good boxing.

“It’s not normal for someone my height and weight to be able to box and move and slide, so why should I take that away from my game.

“People tell me: go up to Usyk, take him down and punch him, but if it was so effortless why didn’t Joshua do it, who is a massive, sturdy man?

The 37-year-old Usyk defeated “AJ” twice on points and stopped Dubois, and Fury became the fifth Briton to fall victim to him.

The Manchester athlete believes it cost him an impressive performance in his first outing and has vowed to remain focused when facing Usyk on Saturday in three weeks’ time.

“I belong to a boxer,” the 36-year-old added.

“Slip, slide, clip, hook.

“I’m going to do it, but with more focus.

“A little more focused on my job and I think that’s my path to victory.”

David Benavidez gave some harsh advice to Mike Tyson following his loss to Jake Paul last weekend.

Benavidez was one of millions of people around the world who witnessed Paul comfortably defeat an extremely faded Tyson to score wide unanimous decision victory.

At 58 years antique, “Iron Mike” looked like a shell of the man who ruled the heavyweight division in his prime, and some observers even believe he was carried by the YouTuber and could have been stopped at any time.

Despite the fact that the two only competed for two minutes, the fight was fully sanctioned and will go down in their records.

It was Tyson’s first professional fight since his loss to Kevin McBride in 2005, Benavidez said. Fighting Hub TV this should be his last.

“He needs to retire.”

Offering further analysis, “The Mexican Monster” explained that he was simply relieved to see the former heavyweight king leave the ring unscathed.

“It was a good fight and a good turnout, but I don’t want to see Mike Tyson fight again. Let’s hope he says it.

“It was a good performance, Mike Tyson won there and earned well, and he deserves it. I’m just content he didn’t get injured there.

“Mike Tyson is Mike Tyson, but 60-year-old Mike Tyson is different.”

In a post-fight interview, Tyson seemed interested in fighting Jake’s brother, Logan, but has since insisted on social media that he will not return to the ring.

The series has reportedly attracted approximately 108 million viewers on Netflix, making it by far the most-watched boxing event in recent memory.

Tyson grossed an estimated $20 million, while “The Problem Child” is believed to have grossed about twice that amount.

Benavidez spoke at the press conference kicking off his Feb. 1 fight with David Morrell, which is widely considered to be one of the toughest of his career.

The pair will face each other at T-Mobile Arena on Amazon Prime pay-per-view, with the winner all but guaranteed a shot at the delicate heavyweight world title.
