Who is Tyson Fury's trainer? Why was there corner controversy in first Oleksandr Usyk fight? How have pair prepared?

One of the fascinating dynamics during May's clash between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk was the corner styles, with Fury's well-populated camp in sharp contrast to the apparent calm exuded by the Ukrainian and his team. How will that change this time around? Will Tyson's father John be present ringside in Riyadh? And what have the pair's respective training camps entailed?

Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury, two of the greatest heavyweights of all time, are finalising their preparations for another blockbuster fight in Riyadh, with the action - all live on TNT Sports Box Office - just days away.

After Usyk took the spoils in May, what does Fury have up his sleeve to redress the balance?

On Fury's side, there were seemingly conflicting messages in the closing rounds, while Usyk's corner had the air of always being in control despite some worrying moments in the middle of the contest.

Who will the two have in their ear on December 21?

John or no John?

Fury has kept faith with lead trainer SugarHill Steward for the Usyk rematch, with Andy Lee as assistant.

Last time in Riyadh, they were also joined by Fury's father, John. That set-up of three voices was met with criticism by some, with conflicting advice being handed out to their man late on in the bout.

As yet, it is unclear whether John will be ringside, with Tyson saying on the situation: "I don’t know.

"I don’t get involved in all that s****.

"I just go to the gym, train and fight, get paid, go home. That’s what I have always done."

Reflecting on how the first fight had unravelled, Lee told Boxing Scene: "There was a lot of voices in the corner – we were in a dire situation, and had to get him [Fury] back to himself. Pull him out of it.

"I was told, and I believed, he was two rounds down, so I had to speak up about that. His dad was giving him great advice, I thought, but he’s also a dad, and that’s his son.

Lee then revealed: "Sugar should have been the only voice, and he will be the only voice in the next fight."

Fury sparring with new Brit star

Fury has seemingly had a smoother run-in to this battle, having missed out on sparring sessions in the build-up to the last fight because of a cut eye.

The Gypsy King has brought as many as six boxers into camp who can mimic Usyk, with young British sensation Moses Itauma one of them.

Fury chose to base himself and his entourage in Malta for a six-week training camp, arriving in Saudi Arabia on December 14.

Usyk 'sitting underwater for 10 minutes'

Usyk, meanwhile, has seemingly been searching for all sorts of marginal gains in his camp that he has conducted in Gandia, south-east Spain.

He told The Daily Mail: "We have implemented a lot of new things this camp. This is done by [sports scientist] Jakub Chycki.

"We walk on our hands for 15 minutes to build strength. We run, we swim. And we sit underwater.

"We have reached the level where we can sit underwater for 10 minutes, which really helps with my fitness, stamina and breathing during a fight."

Usyk also arrived in Saudi Arabia last week as he tapers down towards the fight.
