Britain’s Tyson Fury , left, punches Ukraine’s Oleksandr Usyk during their undisputed heavyweight world championship boxing fight at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia , May 19, 2024. Tyson Fury promises less clowning and more punching Oleksandr Usyk in the face during their upcoming rematch for boxing’s heavyweight championship.in Saudi Arabia , and they get back in the ring there Dec. 21.
Fury is 5-0, with all the wins by stoppage, in rematches, including two knockouts of Deontay Wilder after a draw in their first fight was Fury’s only other bout that didn’t end with a victory. Fury, 36, loves to entertain, and he was putting his arms behind his back and making faces right from the start of the first fight. But perhaps in an acknowledgement to the talent of Usyk, the former cruiserweight champion before moving up to fight the biggest boys, Fury realizes he will need to do less of it.
The 6-foot-9 Fury wasn’t surprised that he was caught or even that he was hurt by a man he outweighed by about 40 pounds, but blamed himself for allowing it to happen. “I’m not the same guy I was at 21 or 22, but who is at that age?” Fury said. “No one is, I suppose. Muhammad Ali wasn’t. Joe Frazier, Mike Tyson definitely wasn’t. Nobody is. Who is the same man they are at 36 as they was at 26? Nobody really. So yeah, all of those fights have a big effect on human beings.
