The British boxer gave a frank interview
British super heavyweight Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) said he is not considering retirement after his rematch with WBC, WBA, WBO and IBO champion Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs). Fury is ready for a trilogy, but he's not sure it will happen with the Ukrainian.
"Would I be able to leave after that? Absolutely not, no way, no way! But what I'm going to do to him will be such a tough beating on Saturday night that he won't even want a trilogy. And I hope there will be a trilogy, because all great opponents have trilogies - that's a fact. But after what I'm going to do to him, he won't want a third fight," Fury said on the TNTSportsBoxing YouTube channel.
Tyson compared the confrontation with Oleksandr to his fights with Deontay Wilder.
"Seven long years have passed. I was 29 when I fought Wilder in Los Angeles. Now I'm almost at the threshold of my fortieth birthday. So I can't say that I'll be the same as I was seven years ago. Another day, another book, another opponent," Fury summarized.
As OBOZ.UA reported, the second fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury will take place on December 21. Bookmakers have already named the Ukrainian as a favorite and accept bets on his victory with odds of 1.68.
Before the rematch, Fury made a loud statement, saying that he intends to write his name in the history of world boxing. For his part, Usyk announced his intention to leave the heavyweight division, but did not confirm his retirement.
Last week, both boxers completed preparations for the fight. Usyk arrived in Riyadh where he was warmly greeted by Ukrainian fans. Fury admitted that he has a plan to take revenge and close the defeat he suffered in May.
Back in October, during the first duel of views, Usyk surprised the public with a new image and forced Fury to take a step in support of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
In addition, Fury allowed himself to be offended by Usyk's remarks and publicly challenged him to a third fight. Earlier, the Ukrainian champion was brought to tears by a letter from an Armed Forces soldier read by British journalist Charlotte Daly.
