Tyson Fury dismisses Oleksandr Usyk as a threat to their rematch in 29 days on December 21, stating that he will hit him with everything but the kitchen sink in the ninth round of their first fight, and he could not knock him out. .
Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) says he took the best shots of United heavyweight champion Usyk on May 18 and “smiled” at him. Now, he will be back with a vengeance on December 21 in their DAZN PPV title at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Anger is Looking Out of Context
Heavyweight Kevin Lerena posted a photo of himself and a bearded Fury standing outside the ring, shirtless. Interestingly, Fury, 36, has lifted her trunks from her skin in what appears to be an attempt to hide her toned stomach. Fans at X criticized Fury’s condition after DAZN posted a photo of him and trainer Sugarhill Steward on social media on Thursday.
Fury’s midfield has shown signs of a strain he shouldn’t be, given the time left before his rematch with Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs). He appears to be well overweight at 40 lbs.
If that weight can be cut on December 21st, he could be a new guy, perhaps one who can move around the ring like he did in 2015 when he was on a spree against former heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko.
The way Fury looks now, he will have problems with the fast and athletic Usyk, who will take him to school and get him out of this. There will be no referee to save Fury this time with a standing eight count.
“I know that he has no strength because if there is a man standing at his feet and hit him with ten other guns and he can even knock him down, how will he hurt me?” said Tyson Fury of Queensberry Promotions on X, dismissing Oleksandr Usyk as he has a chance to knock him out on December 21 in their rematch in Riyadh.
“He had his guns. I took his best shot, his five shots, and smiled. As Tupac said, ‘Now, you’re about to feel the wrath of this threat.'”
The Mindset of a Millionaire
I watched the Fury-Usyk fight last May, and I didn’t see Fury smile in the ninth round or beyond. He looked dejected, standing on his feet in the ninth round, looking up at the sky. After the battle, Fury sounded like he was out of his mind, talking nonsense about Happy New Year.
20 unanswered headshots Usyk hit Fury babbling afterwards, thinking he had done enough to win, and coming up with conspiracy trash. It was painful, but understandable, given the punishment he received in the ninth round.
One conclusion we can draw is that Fury is not taking this fight seriously because he is very rich. It’s hard for people to understand, but for a person who has a net worth of 140 million dollars, like Fury, and who is about to make another 100 million dollars to meet Usyk again, the concern is not as it would be for an ordinary person.
