His Excellency Turki Alalshikh has revealed that the Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk rematch will happen on December twenty first in Riyadh.
The previous WBC heavyweight champion Fury will likely be out to avenge his twelve-round break up resolution defeat suffered by the unified champion Usyk on Might 18th.
That was a bitter tablet for Fury to swallow, and he didn’t take it too properly within the instant aftermath. He claimed he deserved the win and got here up with an oddball concept on why the judges gave it to Usyk, speaking concerning the warfare in Ukraine. It was an instance of sore loser-dom.
Why the Delay?
Alalshikh doesn’t say why the Fury-Usyk rematch isn’t taking place in October as a part of the unique plan. Nonetheless, doubtless, the punishment that the 35-year-old Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) sustained within the ninth spherical is the rationale for the additional two months delay.
Fury took a beating within the ninth, and plenty of followers felt that the referee saved him from being knocked out by leaping in the proper on the exact second when Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) was about to land the coup de grace to KO, the badly damage large.
The additional time that Fury is being given Might not assist. In fact, you may’t rule out a postponement or two initated by the Gypsy King because of coaching camp accidents. We’ve already seen that previously. However assuming neither fighter is injured in camp making ready for the December twenty first rematch, it’s nonetheless a lot of a break for Fury to get better from the struggle on Might 18th.
Can Fury Bounce Again?
Fury’s followers consider he’ll be extra aggressive within the rematch, preventing on the entrance foot and attacking Usyk like he attacked Deontay Wilder of their second struggle. The Gypsy King had his greatest success in opposition to Usyk when he fought aggressively in rounds six and 7.
Usyk’s motion and counter-punching capability shortly precipitated Fury to re-think his aggressive technique within the eighth spherical when he was nailed by an enormous left on the snoot, bloodying it, inflicting him to retreat to the ropes to nurse his injured beak. That was the place issues fell aside for the enormous, as he was badly damage in spherical 9, and it was all downhill from there.
It might not assist Fury struggle aggressively, as Usyk will counter him and look to capitalize on his lack of ability to take care of sustained mixture punching. Realizing how the judges scored the struggle final time, Usyk will need to guarantee he doesn’t obtain a controversial resolution.
