Tyson Fury is ramping up for his eagerly anticipated rematch with Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday, December 21. The man known as ‘Gypsy King’ seeks vengeance against the Ukrainian champion defending his WBO, WBC, and WBA heavyweight titles.
The titanic clash, titled ‘Usyk v Fury 2: Reignited’, is set to unfold in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and fans can place their orders here in advance of the fight night. Their first bout in May ended with Usyk securing a historic win, becoming the first undisputed world heavyweight champion since 1999.
After going the distance over 12 rounds, the judges scored a split decision victory (115-112, 113-114, 114-113) in favour of Usyk, marking Fury’s first professional defeat. Since their initial fight, Usyk relinquished his IBF title which was snapped up by British fighter Daniel Dubois following his triumph over Anthony Joshua in September.
Speaking to TNT Sports, Fury promised an aggressive approach in their rematch, with Talksport quoting him saying, “I’m going to go in there [in] destroy mode. Last time I went to box him and I was being cautious.”
He continued bluntly, “I was boxing the head right off him, let’s talk facts. Anyone can get caught as we’ve seen in a lot of these heavyweight fights. But this time I’m not going for a points decision. I’m going to knock a mother*****r out”, reports the Mirror.
As excitement builds for another landmark bout, details on when Usyk vs Fury 2 will commence and how UK viewers can watch live are eagerly awaited.
