Tyson Fury is gearing up with intensified training as he prepares for a rematch against Oleksandr Usyk scheduled for December 21, 2024, in Riyadh. The anticipation for this bout is high, as it follows their previous epic clash which saw Usyk emerge victorious.
Fury, reflecting on the last fight, acknowledged the challenges Usyk presented but remains confident in his ability to adjust and potentially reverse the outcome in their upcoming encounter.
Fury’s team has highlighted that despite his initial control during the early rounds of their first fight, Usyk managed a breakthrough that nearly ended the match prematurely.
Notably, the ninth round was critical, with Usyk landing significant punches that momentarily rocked Fury. Moving forward, Fury’s focus will likely be on refining his strategy to counter Usyk’s speed and precision, which were decisive last time around.
The rematch itself is not just a fight for redemption for Fury but is also being hailed as a pivotal event in boxing, set to draw global attention. Both fighters have expressed a strong desire for this rematch, which was agreed upon even before their first face-off, underscoring the high stakes and mutual respect between the two champions.
