Tyson Fury Prepares for Rematch, Claims Victory Over Oleksandr Usyk in Controversial Bout

Posted : 21 June 2024

Tyson Fury asserts that he defeated Oleksandr Usyk in their May undisputed heavyweight title fight, describing the Ukrainian as resembling a "local amateur boxer." Usyk, 37, emerged victorious by split decision in Saudi Arabia, thus becoming the first four-belt undisputed heavyweight champion in boxing history.

 

Fury contested the outcome immediately after the bout and remains convinced that he did enough to secure the win. "I've watched the fight back lots and still got the same answer - I thought I won," Fury stated on his YouTube channel. He added that the fight was unexpectedly easy, likening Usyk's performance to that of an amateur, and attributed his loss to underestimating his opponent and being too relaxed in the ring.

 

Despite Usyk's undefeated record in 22 professional fights, including a gold medal at the 2012 Olympics and an undisputed championship at cruiserweight, Fury is gearing up for their rematch scheduled for December 21. Fury, a former WBC champion at 35, has returned to training and is determined to win decisively, expressing doubts about winning on points and indicating the need for a knockout.

 

There are uncertainties regarding whether the undisputed title will be at stake again, as the IBF might strip Usyk of his belt for not making a mandatory defense. Usyk has requested an exception to retain the belt for the rematch. Fury remains confident and eager for the upcoming challenge, despite hearing that Usyk is recovering from injuries.
