Lennox Lewis has admitted he feels Tyson Fury must make ‘adjustments’ to his game for his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk on December 21.
Fury will be hoping to win the bout, having previously crashed to defeat against the same opponent back in May.
Usyk was too strong on that occasion, with the Ukrainian winning via split decision to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.
Fury has insisted he’s confident of getting the better of his rival when they meet for a second time this winter.

Yet Lewis, speaking to Boxing News, believes the Briton must make ‘adjustments’ to his game in order to reign supreme.
“It’s not as simple as that [doing the same thing again but just better],” he said.
“Tyson Fury does need to make some adjustments. If he didn’t make any adjustments, then he would lose the fight again.
“He needs to step into the ring with a clear approach and be ready to throw far more punches than in the first bout.

“I don’t think he wants to give too much away. And I think we’re going to get a different Tyson for this fight.”
Tyson has made a habit out of bouncing back over the years.
He is someone who has been able to overcome virtually everything life has thrown at him, with the 36-year-old writing his name into the history books along the way.
In order to boost his chances of victory, Fury has decided to bring rising star Moses Itauma into his camp.

“We’re kind of similar styles, the likes of me and Usyk, we’ve kind of got a similar style so I feel like I’ll be very beneficial.

“Inside the ring being a bit more patient, a bit calmer, not trying to kill everyone. People have pulled out of fights with me and I don’t blame them.
“If I was in their shoes, I would pull out as well. I wouldn’t want to fight me either.
