Carl Frampton believes that Tyson Fury can emerge victorious in a second meeting against Oleksandr Usyk.
The pair are speculated to meet again in 2024 but there’s still no official confirmation on when that bout will take place.
Usyk was declared the undisputed champion via split decision against Fury and he now sits on top of the heavyweight division.
Usyk turned the fight in his favour during a brilliant ninth round, but Frampton, a former two weight world champion, thinks Fury was the master of his own downfall.
“I think he can win a rematch. I think he threw that fight away,” said Frampton when speaking to BoxingScene.
“I don’t wanna do a disservice to Usyk – he won it. At the halfway point they came to me in the punditry spot, and I had the fight four [rounds to] two to Fury. Usyk was hurt to the body; he walked into a few uppercuts.
“I made the point that it was going to be hard for Usyk to come back and I couldn’t see a way, really, but he dug deep and done exactly that.”
