"Exactly 9 weeks left". Fury said what will happen in the fight with Usyk
WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) has once again threatened to defeat WBA, WBO, IBO, and IBF titles holder Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs). During his morning run, the Briton said he would easily defeat the Ukrainian.
"So, today is exactly 9 weeks until I kick Usyk's ass. My team and I have been jogging since early this morning. I don't know how much we'll run: eight, nine, ten miles. Maybe we will even run a half marathon. The weather is fantastic," Fury said.
As a reminder, Usyk and Fury will fight on May 18. According to American bookmakers, it is our compatriot who is the favorite in this confrontation.
Fury and Usyk are to fight in May
As OBOZ.UA previously reported, the Usyk – Fury fight was originally scheduled for February 17, but Fury suffered a serious cut on February 2 during training. Because of this, the fight was officially postponed to the spring of 2024.

Turki Al al-Sheikh, head of Saudi Arabia's General Authority for Entertainment, said the May 18 show will go ahead anyway. The organizer of the boxing night in Riyadh has come up with a rule that will prevent the fight from being disrupted again.

On March 15, the president of the World Boxing Council (WBC) Mauricio Suleiman came up with a revolutionary idea to change the rules for the Usyk – Fury fight. The official is convinced that six judges, rather than the traditional three, should be counting the points in the fight for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion.
