The functionary hopes that the rematch will also be organized by the “Gypsy King” and Alexander Usik
President of the promotion company TopRank Todd DuBoeuf believes that the former UFC world champion Francis Ngannou deserved a rematch against the WBC world champion Tyson Fury.
“He earned the rematch, he deserved it. Ngannou’s performance made people think he had a chance to win. Francis has exceeded all expectations and can count on revenge.”
“We also have a special moment in February when we bring all the heavyweight titles together. I hope that Usyk and Fury will give a great fight, and it will also deserve a continuation.”
Fury defeated Ngannou via split decision. It was reported that the Briton received two cuts in a fight with the former UFC champion.
The Usik-Fury fight for the title of absolute heavyweight champion will officially take place on February 17 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Initially, the fight was planned to be organized on December 23, but was postponed due to the Briton’s injuries after the fight with Ngannou.
