Just as with the first fight, Usyk v Fury 2 is a contest of fine margins.

Usyk, 37, has collected all the belts at heavyweight and cruiserweight.

Ukraine’s golden boy is unbeaten in 22 fights with 14 knockouts and showed every inch of his capabilities in his last bout.

Usyk’s best attribute continues to be his boxing brain and fantastic movement. The victory over Fury was the best win of his career, but Usyk has also beaten Anthony Joshua, Daniel Dubois and Tony Bellew.

Fury, 36, has a big reach and height advantage, with six inches separating the two towering heavyweights.

A clever person might suggest Fury will put his seven-inch reach advantage to better use in the rematch.

The loss to Usyk was Fury’s first in 16 years as a pro as his record changed to 34 wins, one defeat and one draw.

Fury has held every title at heavyweight, albeit not at the same time. His best wins have been over Deontay Wilder, Wladimir Klitschko and Dillian Whyte.

As both heavyweights creep towards 40 years of age, miles on the clock might play a big part in the rematch.

Usyk is the fresher, in the pro game at least, having competed in 14 fewer fights than Fury’s 36 bouts.

As well as that, Fury has boxed a huge 242 rounds compared to Usyk’s 189.
