Now, the Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk rematch is getting closer, and the two sides will face off in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on December 21. In a bout in May of this year, Fury lost to Usyk on points, and missed out on the undisputed heavyweight king glory.
In an interview this week, Fury stressed that the rematch must knock out Usyk and will not leave the victory to the off-stage judges.
"It's no secret, I'm going to knock Usyk out because no matter what I do, I won't win by points, so I have to fight for it from the referee, and I also believe that Usyk can be knocked out," Fury said. ”
Although the rematch has not yet taken place, Fury has hinted at a rematch, and he is confident that he will win the rematch, so a 1-1 trilogy match would be the only fitting.
Fury said: "I believe it's a great trilogy – me and Usyk! I believe that when we defeat him, we will definitely have a 100% trilogy. Everyone makes one, we need to make a trilogy. ”
After Fury's loss to Usyk a few months ago, there was calls for him to make changes to the team, including a change of coach, Jawan Hill Stuward, and the removal of that chattering dad, John Fury. Fury's uncle and former coach Peter Fury believes that there were too many people in the corner during Tyson Fury's game and there was gossip everywhere, so it needed to be streamlined and only need one person to give him orders.
Fury has now made it clear that there will be no changes to the team, saying: "People can think that I want to change coaches, or shift the responsibility to the strength and conditioning coach, to the nutritionist, or even to the rat next door, we are the same team, everything is the same, I know what is needed." ”
When asked if there was a need to make changes to the rematch? Fury's answer was clear: "I know what to do, nothing extreme, nothing needs to be changed." ”
Now, there are almost two and a half months left until the rematch with Usyk. Fury admits that he hasn't put himself into preparing for the fight, but says he knows Usyk well enough to prepare for it in a matter of weeks.
"I haven't started preparing yet, I haven't been to training camp for a long time," Fury said. There's about 10 weeks left from today, and I'll probably be ready for it in a few weeks, usually I'll train for six or seven weeks for the game and I'll be ready for that night's rock 'n' roll extravaganza. ”
