“Well, look, he’s got his team there, and I’m not criticizing anybody, but both of his tactics weren’t good in both fights,” Peter told talkSport Boxing.
“It was pretty much wrong because look, if we’ve got a little guy here who’s a, let’s say a welterweight who can throw a thousand punches and we’ve got a heavyweight, is the heavyweight going to throw a thousand punches with him?
“Or is he going to step in and throw one good shot? Absolutely.
“So basically, yes, the strategies were just wrong. It doesn’t mean to say Usyk was better than him. It doesn’t mean to say anything. You misunderstand the tactics and it’s wrong.
“And you know when you look at the structure of Usyk and what he does, to stand up and try to box an elite boxer who’s lighter than you, who’s giving away pounds, he’s going to ping you all over the shop. So it should have been noticed,” says Peter Fury.
Tyson Fury announced his return earlier this year and is expected to have a build-up bout before a planned series with Anthony Joshua begins. Queensbury promoter Frank Warren recently confirmed that Fury’s next opponent could be announced in the coming days, with the much-anticipated Joshua fight set for later this year.
Usyk remains at the top of the heavyweight division and has been ordered to face WBC interim champion Agit Kabayel. Warren also confirmed that negotiations for this fight are underway.
A third meeting between Fury and Usyk has not been announced. However, Peter Fury remains convinced that the strategy used in the first two fights was a decisive factor in the outcome.
