The “Gypsy King” said that Alexander’s victory was awarded because of the war in Ukraine
Frank Warrenco-promoter of former WBC title holder Tyson Furystated that the Briton’s words after the fight with the Absolute World Champion Alexander Usik about the war in Ukraine – symptoms of mental disorder.
“I’m very angry. I just returned from Riyadh and I’m reading some reports about it.”
“Tyson suffers from bipolar disorder. Go to the NHS website and look up the symptoms of bipolar disorder. If he has something on his mind, he says it. Unfortunately, this is one of the symptoms.”
“There is a clause about a rematch. This was the condition that the people who invested in this fight demanded. If Tyson wants it – and he said he wants a rematch – then it will happen.”
The “Gypsy King” confirmed that he wants to have a rematch with the Ukrainian. The second fight between Fury and Usyk is scheduled to take place in October 2024. The venue for the fight will be Saudi Arabia, as announced by Frank Warren.
On the night of May 19, Usik inflicted the first defeat of Fury in his professional career 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.
Usik became the first absolute world heavyweight champion in the era of four belts. In the heavyweight division, the last time Lennox Lewis held absolute status was in 1999, but then three titles were enough for this title.
Alexander is the second boxer in history after Evander Holyfield, who was the absolute world champion in cruiserweight and heavyweight. Also, the Ukrainian boxer became the third (after Terence Crawford and Naoya Inoue) in the era of four prestigious titles to become the absolute champion in two weight categories.
It was reported that an agreement had been reached between Usyk and Fury for a re-fight. The Chairman of the General Authority of Entertainment of Saudi Arabia, Turki Al al-Sheikh, stated that the rematch between Alexander and Tyson is scheduled for October 12-13 in Riyadh.
