Is Fury postponing the rematch with Usyk? Tyson talks about the decision and the 10 million dollar fine

Former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) considered postponing his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs), which was scheduled for December 21. The Gypsy King, as the Briton is called, was even ready to pay a 10 million pound fine ($12.7 million), but did not dare to take this step.

Fury told about it in an interview with Sky Sports. According to the British heavyweight, he had an excellent training camp, changing his traditional plan with a small number of sparring sessions, and was well prepared for a second confrontation with his Ukrainian opponent.

"This time it was much easier. I had a lot of sparring and was able to train properly, although it's no secret that I hadn't done a lot of sparring before. If you think about it, I could have postponed the fight a little bit, which would have cost me 10 million pounds, but it doesn't matter. We are at the point we are at now and I am going to do my job on Saturday night," Fury said.

It should be noted that the Briton is considered an outsider in the fight. GGBET analysts offer a bet on the fight between Usyk and Fury for the second time, with odds of 2.62 on Tyson's victory. The draw is estimated at 18.00. And the odds on the Ukrainian's success reach 1.68.var link = document.getElementById("casinoLink"); link.addEventListener('click', function(e){ window.open('https://ggbet.ua/uk-ua/sports/match/oleksandr-usyk-vs-tyson-fury-21-12-2', '_blank'); });

The day before, our compatriot announced his intention to retire from the heavyweight division. He also answered the question whether he was going to end his career after the rematch with Fury.

Last week, the boxers completed preparations for their second fight. Oleksandr arrived in Riyadh, where he was met by his compatriots. In his turn, Tyson told how he was going to beat our boxer and close the defeat in May.

On December 1, an epic promo for the rematch between Usyk and Fury was released. It has already been called a disgrace to American boxing companies.

On October 23, Usyk and Fury held their first lookalike duel before the second fight. The Ukrainian appeared in an unusual way, changing his image. In addition, he forced his opponent to take an unusual step to help the Armed Forces.

Before that, it became known that Tyson wanted to arrange a trilogy with Oleksandr to make boxing history. The Briton also accused the Ukrainian of disrupting the timing of the rematch.

As OBOZ.UA previously reported, Tyson Fury spoke insultingly about Oleksandr Usyk and challenged him to a third fight. British journalist Charlotte Daly brought the Ukrainian to tears with a letter from the Ukrainian Armed Forces soldier.
