    Some good arguments for both sides in this thread.

    Personally I would rather see Usyk vs Hrgovic or Zhang than have to wait another year for the rematch.

    Fury has looked relatively composed in the interviews he's given since the loss. He may not be melting down at all. If that's the case than the rematch might happen and it might be a barnstormer of a fight.

    Amount of people in this forum who have never experienced a $100m payday is very evident.

    rematch is guaranteed bar injury. Tyson Fury is inevitable.

    Hopefully the rematch takes place. At this point I would favor it taking place.

    Much though I'm not a fan of Fury, the logic of this post is about as sound as Fury's argument that he won the fight

    Reminds me of the idiots who kept insisting that Joshua was afraid to take the Usyk rematch.
    Once it was signed, they kept insisting that Joshua won´t go through with it.
    And then it turned into: "Joshua is being forced to take the rematch".

    Good times.

    Fury done probably all he can do to win first fight and end of the day he cant reach vicotry.

    Usyk was his massive problem then because he understand how difficult it might be and I even cant imagine what he must feel now.

    Before first time he cancel few first date to build better shape, destroy Usyk preperation and probably had hope that Usyk age will hape him a little.
    He build great shape, lost weight and give himself more time to feel good with new body. Still he lost.

    What he can do better in reematch? Where he can find his hope? Where he can find this massive self belive now when this little rabbit beat him? Being delusional dont help him because deep inside I dont belive he belive he win first fight and that was even too easy job...

    Off course he got a chance. He can focus more from begining and make less silly action, starting with full force from round 1 like he did in rounds 4-7 but there is one big problem.
    He always will be slower, worse stamina bigger dude and if he start work 100% too early IT might happend that he will leave even more time Usyk to strong finish.

    That's big problem being gas out with Usyk. Joshua feel same way when he try force more, even heart Usyk but in next rounds he was in trouble. Usyk got this briliant advantage over all this dude that he recovery very very fast.

    I see chance in reematch 65-35 for Usyk. Chance Fury will take this fight is imo pretty big because:
    1. Its big money
    2. He got nothing to loss. After bad performance with Ngannou and lost his belt with Usyk he can only now earn respect.
    3. There is no good way to avoid this fight with not loss respect. He will just admit that he was weak.
    Better option is took fight and lost it even worse fashion but still- if You fight You got chance. If You give up You admit You are...

    Fury cracked the top 15 ATGs for me in the past couple of years, but he has to be one of the most all-over-the-place self promoters ever.

    Public pressure and ridiculous bucks will get him back in the ring with Usyk. His fans will afford him shame if he doesn't.

    To be honest, he didn't look on his A game, and still he controlled large portions of the fight. He probably feels he can do better next time, shock horror.

    Fury would have won the fight if he took it seriously and fought the entire time instead of playing with Usyk.

    I don’t see it the same way. It was an even fight, with Fury showing he could outbox Usyk for a few rounds, before he slowed down a bit then got hurt. Fury also gave up the first round with dumb showboating.

    If I were him, I’d drop 20lbs, then go balls out nuts on cardio training. And study the film, see what he did wrong, what he did to get caught.

    He could win this. This isn’t some hopeless fight for him if he did it right.

    I don't think he'll avoid the rematch, but I don't think he'll own up to any of the things that lost him the first fight and will thus make no real changes, which leads to him getting brutally stopped. Right now he's managed to convince himself that he was robbed of a victory and that he was controlling the fight, which in the short term will prevent him totally imploding, but in the long term will lead to an even bigger implosion once reality hits him.
