Tyson Fury believes he’s acquired to knockout unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk for him to win their rematch on December twenty first in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Final Might, Fury regarded previous, fats, sluggish, and over-the-hill in his loss to Usyk. He was nowhere close to the fighter he’d been 4 years earlier when he defeated Deontay Wilder of their rematch in 2020, however then once more, he’d by no means regarded that muscular earlier than or since.
That was only a bizarre state of affairs the place Fury’s physique modified for one combat, and he’s returned to wanting flabby ever since. In opposition to Usyk, Fury regarded ten years older than he’d been 4 years earlier, and he doesn’t look any youthful in his current interviews. That ain’t good going into his rematch as a result of punch resistance will not be there and undoubtedly not his velocity,
Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) isn’t coming proper out and saying it, however he appears to imagine that he was given a uncooked deal in his 12-round break up determination to Usyk earlier this yr on Might 18th. He says he nonetheless thinks he gained the combat and ignores the enterprise that went on within the ninth spherical, the place the referee saved him.
This lack of ability for Fury to simply accept that he didn’t carry out effectively towards the quicker, extra agile Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) means that he’s not going to make the enhancements wanted for him to win subsequent time.
One downside that the 36-year-old Fury has is there’s little incentive for him to win as a result of His Excellency Turki Alalshikh has already stated that he can nonetheless combat Anthony Joshua, even when he loses to Usyk within the rematch.
Which means that the rematch with Usyk is only a throwaway and means nothing as a result of Fury nonetheless goes to the massive AJ combat anyway. If everybody had a soft setup the place they may fail and nonetheless get the massive payday, it will be nice. The entire world could be a bunch of slackers.
“I didn’t assume he beat me final time, and I’m rattling positive not going to let him beat me this time,” stated Tyson Fury to iFL TV about his loss to Oleksandr Usyk earlier this yr on Might 18th in Riyadh.
I hate to interrupt this to Fury, however Usyk schooled you, and he ought to have had a knockout within the ninth if not for the referee giving an odd standing eight rely. It regarded just like the referee was serving to out Fury in the identical method Joshua gave the impression to be getting a serving to hand from the referee who labored his current match towards Daniel Dubois.
“I’ve acquired to knock him out, and I’ll be coaching for a superb knockout, and I’ll get it like Wilder 2,” stated Fury. “I stated I used to be going to knock him out, and I did. I’m going to knock him out this time, and I’ll. Imagine it first. He acquired the choice over me, and I acquired to run it again. It is sensible to do the rematch and get my victory again.”
Fury’s probabilities of knocking out Usyk are slim, and none. This isn’t the no-skilled Deontay Wilder he’s combating. Usyk really has the power, and he’ll simply get out of the way in which of Fury’s telegraphed punches. The leaning bit that Fury used towards Wilder gained’t work as a result of Usyk gained’t permit him to seize, maintain, and lean. Wilder shouldn’t have both, however he was hopeless for that combat and the trilogy.
“I’ve acquired previous the purpose of actually caring. It in all probability took that call to wake me up and provides me the kind of aggression again the place I wish to smash somebody in,” stated Fury.
