According to the Mexican, Alexander needs to be as sharp as possible in the ring on December 21
Former world super middleweight champion and WBA cruiserweight title holder Gilberto Ramirez believes that in the upcoming rematch between the two heavyweights, the WBC, IBO, WBA and WBO world champion Alexander Usik (22-0, 14 KOs) is more worthy of victory than the former WBC title holder Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs).
“I think Usyk will beat Fury in a rematch. He has a lot of skills and moves really well. He needs to be sharp this evening.”
Let us remember that on September 21 in London, Dubois defeated Joshua, knocking out his opponent in the fifth round. Daniel defended the IBF champion title, which he received after Alexander Usyk abandoned him. Fury recently stated that he is ready to fight AJ, despite his compatriot’s recent failures.
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. Oleksandr Usyk will prepare for the rematch in 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. Tyson Fury said he will begin training six to seven weeks before the fight.
Last week 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.
