The second fight between Alexander and Tyson will take place on December 21, 2024 in Riyadh
Former world cruiserweight champion Tony Bellew doubts that WBC, IBO, WBA and WBO champion Oleksandr Usik (22-0, 14 KOs) will be able to shock former WBC heavyweight title holder Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) again in a rematch.
“I wish both guys the best, but in my opinion, Usyk will not be able to achieve what he achieved in the first fight. He won’t be able to push and bully Fury all evening because he took everyone by surprise, including Tyson himself. Fury was then unsettled because he did not expect such actions from his opponent. You won’t fool this guy a second time.”
“In any case, it will be a majestic fight. The greatest chess game awaits us. We watch heavyweight boxing to see the knockouts, but here two of the greatest in the business will meet. I admire not only Usik, because I have experience of confronting him, but also Fury. May the best man win.”
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). WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman said he would seek the introduction of video replays in this fight.
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.
