“[Tyson] got clipped in the [Ngannou] fight, but he did what a champion does, and that is to get back into the fight,” Warren told Sky Sports. “He’s got a good chin, recovers, and won the fight.
“I wouldn’t look too much into that Ngannou fight. With Tyson, that’s probably his worst performance as a champion against Ngannou. You look at all his other performances, and he’s raised his game.”
Warren also explained how Fury has altered his approach since becoming a world champion in November 2015. “Years ago, when he fought [Wladimir] Klitschko, it was pure boxing. He went out there and gave him a boxing lesson in his adopted backyard in Germany.
“You look, since the second fight with Wilder [in December 2021], he’s changed his style; he goes on the front foot and he’s throwing shots. He’s taking a few, by the way; he’s had to get off the floor a few times, but he’s changed his style quite a bit.
“He’s shown what a puncher he is. This thing about ‘he’s not a big puncher’. Go and look at how many stoppages there are on his record [24]. You only get stopped if you can’t take any more. That’s what he does.
“I think that’s what’s going to happen to Usyk. He’ll do him at his own game. Because he’s very, very smart.”
