The second match will take place on December 21 in Saudi Arabia
Former world junior welterweight champion Amir Khan believes that the former WBC heavyweight belt holder Tyson Fury can knock out WBO/WBA/IBO/WBC world champion Alexandra Usika in revenge.
“I heard comments that Tyson Fury will lose again and this time he will be knocked out. But I don’t see it.”
“One of the things about Fury is that every time he had a bad fight, he came back stronger and knew what to do and how to beat the guy. He could have taken his foot off the gas in the first fight, but this time he will have to focus and be ready.”
“He needs that fire in his belly again and he wants to be a world champion again. I know that if Tyson enters the ring with such a desire, he will definitely get a knockout and win.”
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.
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.
