On the night of May 18-19, Oleksandr Usyk inflicted the first defeat of his professional career on Tyson Fury
Former WBC heavyweight title holder Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KO) stated that he intends to knock out the holder of the WBC, IBO, WBA and WBO heavyweight belts in the rematch Alexandra Usika (22-0, 14 KOs).
“I have a man who beat me, took my virginity, took it to where he lives – in Ukraine or Spain. I don’t know where he lives, but he took away my victory, and that’s what I care about. I don’t care what anyone else does. There’s a guy who has me by the fucking balls right now.”
“If it’s okay for Joshua that Usyk beat him, it’s not okay for me. I don’t think he beat me in the first fight, and I’m damn sure he won’t beat me in this one. I’ve got to knock him out, that’s it. I’m going to go out there and get a good knockout, like I did in the second fight with Wilder. I said I’d knock him out and I did it. I’m going to knock that slut out this time and I’m going to do it.”
Last weekend, Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury were ringside at the Wembley fight in which Daniel Dubois knocked out Anthony Joshua.
Let us recall that on the night of May 18-19, Usyk inflicted the first defeat of his professional career on Tyson Fury in a fight that took place at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia). The victory was awarded to the Ukrainian by a split decision of the judges: 115-112, 113-114 and 114-113.
Usyk and Fury have reached an agreement for a rematch. The “Gypsy King” has officially activated the rematch option. The second fight between Alexander and Tyson will take place on December 21, 2024, in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia). WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman said he would seek the introduction of video replays in this fight. Alexander Usyk will prepare for the rematch in a training camp in Valencia.
