It became known who Usyk should fight after the rematch with Fury
The unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) intends to rematch Daniel Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs) after winning his second fight against Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs). This will allow our compatriot to collect all the belts of the division again and regain the title of the International Boxing Federation (IBF), which he was deprived of in early summer.
His manager Egis Klimas shared his plans with Boxing King Media in an interview with the YouTube channel. According to Usyk's representative, many experts and fans still have questions about the Ukrainian's victory last August because of the moment in the fifth round when the Briton threw a forbidden punch.
"When Oleksandr beats Tyson for the second time, there will be no more interesting boxers in his weight class, except for Daniel Dubois. He is the IBF titleholder. Many people still remember the first fight and that controversial punch. Many believe that there was no punch below the belt, although, in my opinion, it was 100% below the belt. So many people have questions. That's why it would be a perfect fight for Oleksandr to prove that he beat him," Klimas said.
On October 23, Usyk and Fury had their first duel of looks before the second fight. The Ukrainian appeared unusually, changing his image. In addition, he forced his opponent to take an unusual step to help the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Earlier it became known that Tyson wanted to organize a trilogy with Oleksandr to go down in boxing history. The Briton also accused the Ukrainian of disrupting the timing of the rematch.
In the first fight, Oleksandr defeated Tyson 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, the Ukrainian told what he learned from this fight.
The legendary Wladimir Klitschko shared his expectations for 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, Anthony Joshua answered the question of who he would like to see win the rematch between Usyk and Fury. After that, he named the winner of the rematch. Tyson himself voiced his motivation for the second fight against our compatriot.
Fury also responded to Usyk's team representatives to a comparison with dictator Vladimir Putin.
As reported by OBOZ.UA, former Ukrainian boxing coach 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.
