Usyk handed Fury the first defeat of his professional career in May via a split decision and then widened the margins in their rematch last month, with all three judges scoring the bout in his favour.
The Ukrainian slickster often gets straight back into training after his fights but his manager Egis Klimas claims his fighter won’t be in the gym again until at least April.
“It’ll be a very long preparation,” Klimas told Boxing Scene. “After another 12 rounds with Fury, he needs a good, long recovery.”
Klimas added that he anticipates Usyk’s next fight will fall at “the end of July, or August.
