A body language expert has revealed the major difference in Tyson Fury from his first fight against Oleksandr Usyk ahead of their rematch following the bizarre exchange at the open workout.

Fury returns to action on Saturday as he looks to exact revenge on Usyk following his crushing defeat in their undisputed showdown last May.

But fight fans on social media don't like his chances after the self-proclaimed 'Gypsy King' gave a 'worrying' interview at the open workout.

Body language expert Darren Stanton has since delivered his assessment of the former world champion's actions ahead of fight night.

The body language, renowned as the 'Human Lie Detector', believes Fury appears more submissive and humbler since his loss to Usyk.

The former police offer, who spent 20 years examining human behaviours, also noted the 'psychological weight' of their previous bout, suggesting it has contributed to the previously-undefeated Brit's 'behaviour'.

"Tyson Fury’s body language, including walking with his head dipped and making himself appear smaller, suggests a submissive and humbled demeanour, a stark contrast to his usual confidence and showmanship," he told JeffBet.

"Fury’s loss to Oleksandr Usyk in May, which ended his undefeated streak and cost him the WBC and Ring Magazine titles, has likely dented his self-esteem and confidence."

Stanton added: "Fury seems intimidated by the magnitude of his upcoming rematch in Saudi Arabia, appearing devoid of his typical brashness and swagger.

"The presence of Usyk and the psychological weight of their previous bout may be contributing to Fury’s more reserved and cautious behaviour."

Fury not only surrendered the WBC title in his defeat to Usyk but also suffered the first defeat of his professional career.

He'll be seeking to avenge his only pro defeat and reclaim the world heavyweight titles.

As for Usyk, he'll be aiming to register the 23rd pro victory of his legendary career.
