Former undisputed world cruiserweight and heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield knows a thing or two about winning rematches. Holyfield lost his heavyweight world titles to Michael Moorer and Riddick Bowe, and later avenged those defeats in rematches.

Last month, potentially in the biggest upset this year, Tyson Fury ended the decade long reign of heavily favored Wladimir Klitschko. Fury won a twelve round unanimous decision to win the WBO/WBA/IBO/IBF world titles.

Klitschko has since exercised a rematch clause. The second fight is slated to take place in the first half of the year.

"Fury acted unpredictably and Klitschko was unable to adapt to it. That happened to me as well a few times, which is why I was losing to boxers [who fought like that]. For example, with John Ruiz. When I fought him it was very uncomfortable. He was younger and much more energetic - he had plenty of energy. He won the fight with a slight advantage, and Fury's win was very similar," Holyfield said.

"I believe Klitschko has asked for a rematch. That's what I would have done. If he knows what to change, and make adjustments in his style, he has to take this fight."

"He should be more aggressive and come forward to throw punches, otherwise he won't reach him. Klitschko is not used to boxing [on the inside], but if he's going to fight from a distance, he will miss his face."

"My prediction for a rematch? Klitschko is the better fighter, but Fury's younger and more energetic. This can be compared to chess - if Klitschko changed tactics, he will win. And I don't think he will get in the ring without confidence in his own victory. So I'd say Klitschko."
