Fury speaks about the rematch with Usyk
Former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) accused Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) of disrupting the timing of the rematch between the boxers. According to the Gypsy King, as the Manchester native is called, the rivals were supposed to fight for the second time by the end of October.
He said this in an interview with Sky News. The British heavyweight emphasized that his Ukrainian opponent should be prepared to pay for the postponement of the fight. In addition, Tyson expressed confidence in his victory on December 21 and also announced his desire to hold a third fight with Usyk.
"He actually postponed our rematch. I was looking forward to a quiet preparation for Halloween (October 31), Guy Fawkes Night (November 5), Christmas and New Year's Eve. But he ruined everything. And now I'll only have three Christmas days. He's going to pay for that! I'm going to win the fight with confidence. I would like to do a trilogy with Usyk afterward. I would be the only heavyweight in history to have three trilogies (with Usyk, Wilder, and Chisora – ed.). It would be very impressive," Fury said.
On October 23, the boxers had their first duel of looks before the rematch on December 21. The Ukrainian appeared there in an unusual way, changing his image. In addition, he forced his opponent to take an unusual step to help the Armed Forces.
In the first fight, Usyk defeated Fury by split decision 114:113, 113:114, 115:112 and became the absolute world heavyweight champion.
Our compatriot also shared his expectations for the second fight with Fury and responded to accusations of cheating during the May 18 fight. In addition, Oleksandr told what he learned from this fight.
The legendary Wladimir Klitschko shared his expectations from the rematch between Usyk and Fury. And ex-champion Amir Khan disagreed with the forecasts for the fighters' second fight.
In turn, Russian boxing coach Andrei Ivichuk called Tyson the winner of the upcoming rematch with Oleksandr. And the Ukrainian named the only boxer he is interested in fighting after the second fight with the Briton.
In addition, the British Anthony Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs) answered the question of who he would like to see win the rematch between Usyk and Fury. The Briton himself named his motivation for the second fight against our compatriot. He also told us when he would start preparing for the fight.
Fury also responded to Usyk's team representatives when they compared him to dictator Vladimir Putin. And the Briton Daniel Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs) wished the Ukrainian defeat.
As reported by OBOZ.UA, the former coach of the Ukrainian boxing team Mykhailo Zavialov said that Tyson Fury would put his career on the line in a rematch with Oleksandr Usyk. The Briton himself noted that he did not believe in his victory on points in the second fight with the Ukrainian. In turn, Usyk revealed the details of his preparation for the fight.
