The Ukrainian is preparing for the second fight with Tyson Fury
Former world cruiserweight champion Tony Bellew believes that none of the current boxers will be able to defeat the holder of the WBC, IBO, WBA and WBO titles in heavyweight Alexandra Usika. The Briton suggested that of the stars of the past, the Ukrainian would be able to defeat the legendary George Foreman.
“I’ll have to go with Big George,” Bellew replied.
Usik is preparing for his second fight with Briton Tyson Fury at a training camp in Valencia. The Ukrainian said that he attracts scientists, psychologists to the training camp, and is constantly looking for suitable sparring partners.
Let us remember that on the night of May 18-19, Usik inflicted the first defeat in 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: 115-112, 113-114 and 114-113.
An agreement has been concluded between Usik and Fury for a re-fight. 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).
At the end of October, the first press conference and duel of the boxers’ views took place in London. Usik appeared in public to the song “Ave Maria” in the extravagant image of the hero of the computer game series Hitman. Fury came out to the song “Barbie Girl.” The event was hosted by legendary ring announcer Michael Buffer.
