"Everybody thinks Usyk is the best": Fury's promoter made a statement about the rematch

Promoter Frank Warren has confirmed that Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) has activated his rematch clause with Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) after his May 18 loss. The fight, which is scheduled for mid-fall, "will be announced at the right time."

Warren said this in an interview with the BBC. The representative of the Gypsy King, as the Manchester native is called, expressed confidence that the second fight would go much better for his ward than the first confrontation, in which our compatriot won by a split decision.

"There will be a rematch. I think it will be better than the first fight. They both know each other, they shared the ring, and they will strive to use the experience they gained in the fight as an advantage to defeat their opponent. Tyson is only asking for a rematch because he thinks he can win. He believes in himself. Everybody thinks Usyk is the best, so let's see what Tyson does. He called me and said he wants a rematch, so we're in business," Warren said.

Bookmakers have already started accepting bets on the rematch between Usyk and Fury. However, it is not yet known whether the Ukrainian will retain the title of absolute world heavyweight champion.

Following the fight on May 18, the Ukrainian was suspended from boxing for medical reasons. He was hospitalized after the fight. Promoter Oleksandr Krasiuk spoke about the details of our champion's jaw injury.

Later it became known that Usyk could have been arrested in Saudi Arabia after the fight. And the knockdown in the fight was found in an eighteenth-century painting.

Fury said that he was most pleased with the fight with Usyk. A new video of the British fighter's knockdown in the fight with the Ukrainian was also published. There is talk in England that the Gypsy King will end his career after the defeat.
