WBO heavyweight champion says what will happen in the rematch between Usyk and Fury

Interim WBO heavyweight champion Joseph Parker (35-3, 23 KOs) spoke about the upcoming rematch between absolute champion Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) and former WBC titleholder Tyson Fury (34-1-1). According to the 32-year-old New Zealander, the Gypsy King, as Fury is called, will look much more convincing in the return fight.

"What will happen in the rematch? Tyson will win. Because he will draw the right conclusions after the first meeting. I am sure that after you get the experience of 12 rounds, you will look much better. In the second meeting, both fighters will be better, but Fury will win," Boxing News quoted Parker as saying.

As reported by OBOZ.UA, on May 18 in Riyadh, Usyk defeated WBC champion Tyson Fury and became the owner of the WBA, WBO, IBF, and WBC heavyweight belts.

A few days ago, the exact date of the second fight between the Ukrainian and British boxers became known. The place of the battle remained the same – Riyadh, Arabia.

The day before, the International Boxing Federation (IBF) made an official decision to strip Usyk of his absolute championship title.

The Sun tabloid has named a fantastic fee for the Usyk-Fury rematch. At the same time, Usyk will receive the majority of the revenue thanks to his victory in the first fight. Earlier, the media found out that the Ukrainian would get 60% of the prize money.

In addition, the first bookmaker's forecast for the second fight between Usyk and Fury has appeared.
