Fury made an unexpected admission before the rematch with the Ukrainian.


Fury is pleased with the defeat by Usyk
Former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, in an uncharacteristic manner, recalled the first fight against the holder of the WBA, WBO, WBC, and IBO titles, Oleksandr Usyk, in which he lost by split decision. He said this in an interview with the YouTube channel iFL TV.
If you watch the fight highlights, you can only see how I get pushed around for 30 seconds. The whole fight wasn't like that, but that's what they use. So I give credit to Usyk, his family, and everyone else. My congratulations. If anyone was supposed to beat me, I'm glad it was Usyk because he is a God-fearing Christian and a family man. So I give credit to this guy," said the Briton.
The Usyk-Fury rematch will take place on December 21 in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia). All the titles held by the Ukrainian boxer will be at stake.
Let us remind you, Usyk became the first absolute world boxing champion in the heavyweight division.
Fury plans to knock out Usyk
Former world heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury is determined ahead of the rematch against Oleksandr Usyk.
The Briton makes no secret that his sole goal is a knockout. He doesn't believe in a points victory, so he plans to take matters into his own hands and finish the fight early.
The rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury will take place on December 21 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This will be the second meeting of the heavyweights after the previous fight in which Usyk won by split decision in May 2024.
