Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Fury 2 | PPV - December 21, 2024

Fury is all heart. Nobody can even understand from an honest perspective how he got this far... he's a total anomoly who looks exposed in every fight he's had... but against so many, he gets the job done against fighters who absolutely dedicatated their life to their career.

I can't knock him... watched him at 5-0, 6-0, 7-0 and thought he wont go far, just a very tall dude with a lack of ability... then that same guy got a very close verdict vs Chisora which I wasn't sure about to be honest, and the rest is history.

He gained confidence from then on, fair play to the guy... he knew at minimum he could mix it from that fight and his chin would mostly hold up against proper pros.

He's unique, and good luck to him in his twighlight at World Level.., could be a few more battles where this crazy gypsy dosser wins with shear belief, almost alone.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Check out some excerpts from the fighters below with the full video interview in the link at the top.

Usyk on if he still believes he clearly beat Fury in their first fight
“My hand was (raised). I win. Thank you, God. But if Tyson think that Tyson win, for me no problem. Listen, we have one more fight 21st December.”

Fury on if he regrets saying that Usyk was given the decision because Ukraine is at war
“No, I don’t regret anything. Why would I regret that? Listen, it was a close fight, Usyk got the raise, like he just said. He won the fight, fair play to him. Don’t make excuses, the man beat me on the night, fair play. I believe I won the fight, that’s my opinion...but he got his hand raised and I congratulated him.”

Fury on saying it was an easy fight for him until Usyk landed a punch from the gods
“He could’ve punched me with that punch a million times, it may not have had any effect. But, you know, he punched me and he had an effect and that was great for him...But you had your little chance to knock me out, didn’t ya — couldn’t do it, could ya? Hit me with 10 shots in a row and couldn’t do it.

“You couldn’t even put me down after being on Bambi legs. You hit me 10 shots, 10 clean shots on the chin, no canvas touched. You’re f-cked in the rematch...You know what’s coming for you, I’m going to f-ck you up b-tch.”

Don’t agree at all. He’s an intelligent boxer. That is the reason he’s successful. His failures stem from poor preparation.

You think he has great technique, but lacks heart?

Is that a genuine attempt at reframing what I wrote? Surely not.

Yes, even if I can't stand the lying two-faced drug cheating, manipulating, money making machine that is known as Tyson Fury, I will admit he's a very clever and cunning chap.

He knows about shrewd match making.
He knows about legally escaping drug bans.
He knows about screwing his opponents percentage wise.
He has good eye for spotting opponents strengths and weaknesses.
He's very clever when it comes to boxing smart and can switch tactics easily.

And last but not least, he's brilliant at conserving energy and this no doubt goes a long towards explaining his excellent stamina and remarkable powers of recovery.

Despite all of this, he is no miracle man. He cannot defeat time and he cannot continue to ignore the abuse he's inflicted upon his own body.

Not even Ricky Hatton could that.

Our boi Turki is biased af.
Let's hope Usyk doesn't let it go the distance this time.

Oleksandr Usyk-Tyson Fury officials

The Puerto Rican referee Roberto Ramirez Jnr will referee the rematch

Like their first encounter, the world heavyweight title rematch will be commissioned by the Middle Eastern Professional Boxing Commission and not the British Boxing Board of Control, who again oversee the undercard.

Ramirez, the son of the retired referee Roberto Ramirez Snr, is a veteran of 412 bouts after beginning his refereeing career in 2003.

------
The three scoring judges are Gerardo Martinez, also of Puerto Rico, Chicago’s Pat Morley, and Miami’s Fernando Barbosa.
