Usyk vs. Fury rematch announced for December 21st.

No one likes the big fights taking place in Saudi but if it means the best fighting the best like this, then it's good for the sport.

Really looking forward to seeing what each fighter has learned from the first fight and the adaptations they make to counteract the other.

 

I don´t get the 7 month wait. I don´t like it either.

 

I would go to this if it was in the US or Europe. It is a shame fights like this are in SA, but that's where the money is coming from so I get it. I wouldn't go if they gave me a free flight and ticket.

 

Same here. Fury thought he won the fight. He said he was fine physically. So why does it need to be rescheduled from October? It's the first fight being postponed by the Ngannou thing all over again. After the Ngannou bout Fury said he was fine, he said he'd been training for 12 weeks before. So why did the Usyk match have to be rescheduled from December to February then? And, of course, it never happened in February either. The fight was supposed to happen in April 2023, then in December 2023, then in February 2024... On and on it goes. I wonder how long the drama will follow this time. Another year? Two years?

This is what Fury fans don't see or like to admit. He is called a brilliant showman who sells fights, but on the other hand, it's "Oh no, how could you take him seriously? He talks a lot of nonsense; that's what he does." So which one is it? Always something around the guy, he said she said, drama, controversy, messing around, delays ad nauseam. He is seriously by far the worst thing that happened to HW boxing in the last decade. I'm willing to bet a large amount on the fight not happening in December either. Another suspicious injury, family crisis, or mental health issue will prevent it. I thought Usyk beating him senseless would make him at least a bit more honest and straight-up. He needs more beating, it seems.

 

There are both a little beat up and were in training camp a long time.

They'll rest up, heal and then be back in training camp.

Takes some time. I never thought the October date was realistic.

 

Dont like idea of reematch on this one.
Why? Not because Im afraid as Usyk fan that he can lost (I understand that gypsy still got his chance) but because Fury is one big question mark.
It can happend that Usyk will wait for Tyson who end of the day again will try some tricks to took his time and Usyk last years of carrer will be destroyed...

There is no certainty that Fury take this fight even if he will pretend to do it. He done that in past.
And Usyk getting old. This will be massive shame such a big champion will waste his last days for just waiting for 1 dudes whos he beat already.

For me Fury should take fight with Joshua and Usyk should fight with Okolie in simbolic fight at "third division", win this belts and retire as unbeaten one of the greatest boxer of all time.

Hope this not end similar to Wlad Klitschko case where old champion lost year just waiting to hear "I cant fight"...

 

I believe they’re equals. Both had moments in the first fight and Usyk clearly won. That’s 12 rounds, just one fight. They’ll do another 12 and we will see. It's not hard to see a path for fury to win, anyone saying he can't, ridiculous

 

That's a great Christmas present for all boxing fans.

 

Only it won't happen for another year or so from now. Fury always delays facing Usyk at will. What's the reason this time? Why five months is not enough? We already had a set date for October. After the Ngannou fight, Fury himself said that he wasn't cut, he wasn't injured, he didn't time to heal up. Why was the Usyk fight then pushed back from December to February? At this point, being a Fury fan is nothing short of embarrassing.

 

He knows what to expect from Usyk now, and he did have some success in the fight as well. I think the fight will happen on December 21st.

 

TBH i dont expect no delays this time around. Fury has been in bad- or relatively bad shape ever after Wilder 2. I think he knew he had to much rust and weight to challenge Usyk, henceforth the delays. The Ngannou fight was another factor in this. If Fury can stay focused for the coming 7 months he could be even better prepared. But... at the end of the day it is Tyson. He could balloon up quickly in 3 months and get into camp inactive and fat again. Usyk is a massive mountain to climb. Only the best in him can beat Oleksandr.

 

The sooner, the better. Due to Fury's messing around, the division is at a standstill. I think Fury always knew what to expect, and I've heard opinions about how Fury will do better in the rematch, but I honestly don't see it. We haven't seen anything from Usyk in the fight that we didn't already know. If Fury had been physically able to push him more, keep up the pace with him, or bully him, he would have. Fury has a good boxing brain and is adaptable; he knew what he should do. He just couldn't do it.

Fury fans try to blame the loss on the mess in the corner with three people talking over each other. I remember how the same fans who argue this now argued last year that SugarHill's absence from Fury's camp was not evidence of Fury not wanting the fight or not really preparing for it since he knows how to train, he knows how to fight, and he doesn't need anyone to instruct him in his camp or in the ring. Oh, the irony.

 

I don't give a rats ass about his 0. Trust me I'm not one of them. He's pushing 40 soon. He's accomplished his goals and more and he said on many occasions he doesn't need the money. So go out while your on top befor the body starts to break down. It's common sense my man

 

Was expecting this to happen. I would have preferred to see both fighters fight someone different and then eventually get a rematch next year. The first fight was competitive enough to warrant an immediate rematch I suppose.

I just hope that this fight ends up being just as good as the first. We might end up seeing a trilogy if Fury makes the necessary adjustments.
