Fury looked to be heading for victory in the first-half of the fight, but Usyk took control in the latter rounds and came close to forcing a stoppage in the ninth, with the Gypsy King given a standing count.

Expert Predictions For Usyk v Fury 2 Betting
Finally, we've brought together some Usyk v Fury predictions from some real boxing experts.
These men have all been world champions and have weighed in with their opinions on how the fight will go, which we've matched to our the Usky v Fury 2 bets.
Mike Tyson - Two-Time Heavyweight Champion
"Usyk is the best heavyweight in the world at the moment. But I'm going for Fury to beat him. Why? Because I'm a fan. Because his father gave him my name. I'm not abandoning him now."
Lennox Lewis - Undisputed Heavyweight Champion
"Well, I cannot go against Usyk. Oleksandr Usyk has proven himself time and time again, and he's still undefeated. He moves all the time, he's always throwing punches, he's in great shape, and that's hard to beat."
Joseph Parker - Former Heavyweight Champion
"I feel that if you have a different mindset, that can bring a lot of changes. I believe Tyson can beat Usyk on a points decision, but it's a tough one."
Back Fury to win on points or decision
Tony Bellew - Former Usyk Opponent and Cruiserweight Champion
"I can't look past Usyk. He outboxes him this time and probably ends up winning on points."
Back Usyk to win on points or decision
Amir Khan - Former Light-Welterweight Champion
"Whenever Fury comes back in a rematch, he is always much better so he could probably stop Usyk toward the later rounds."
Back Fury to win by KO/TKO
George Groves - Former Super-Middleweight Champion
"Usyk nearly stopped him in the first fight. He knows it's going to be a tough fight, as it always is for him. Usyk leaves no stone unturned, and I think it's a clearer win for Usyk this time."
Back Usyk to win by KO/TKO
