The British fighter suffered the first loss of his career in the epic heavyweight unification bout against the Ukrainian last month but his promoter Arum felt his man merited victory and should have enough to prevail in a rematch later this year.

He told Sky Sports: "I thought he won a close fight but I could see it going the other way which it did.

"But Fury as he goes into training he's got to fight 12 full rounds. Because I thought the first part of the fight, it was no contest. It was all Fury.

"Then in the eighth round Usyk came on and won eight through 11 and I had Tyson come back and win the 12th.

"If Tyson trains well and goes 12 meaningful rounds, he should be able to beat Usyk."

Arum does expect Fury and his trainer SugarHill Steward to make changes to the Gypsy King's approach for the next fight but is unsure how drastic they will be.

He said: "I'd assume there'd be certain changes but that's up to Tyson and SugarHill [Steward] the trainer who I have great respect for, protege of the great Emanuel Steward.

"I expect certain changes but what they are and how significant they'll be I don't know."

Arum knew that Fury would be in for a tough task against Usyk last month as he has tracked the Ukrainian's progress throughout his career.

He said: "We all felt over here [at Top Rank] and I was in Riyadh and I also felt it was going to be a very close fight.

"Because I've known Usyk since he turned pro and I knew what a good, determined fighter he was and I followed him in his career because he's such a good friend of [Vasiliy] Lomachenko and they were always around together."
