- Boxing. Tyson Fury's relative brutally criticizes Gypsy King's gameplan against Oleksandr Usyk
- Boxing. Anthony Joshua may have to wait longer for a shot at reclaiming his championship belts
We were all wondering how long it would take Tyson Fury to trigger his rematch clause after losing his belts against Oleksandr Usyk. That moment during Round 9 where he was almost knocked out was memorable and it must've left him with some severe damage that will require time to recover. After the fight took place,even the IBF wanted to strip Usyk off his belt in order to keep the division moving forward with the Hrgovic vs Dubois fight taking place next weekend. But Oleksandr Usyk appealed this decision and Tyson Fury also hurried up to trigger his clause. That happened on Wednesday, we finally have a potential date and even a venue where Tyson Fury will get a chance to win all the belts back.
When and where will Tyson Fury fight Oleksandr Usyk again?
According to reports, Tyson Fury is fighting Oleksandr Usyk on December 21, 2024. The place will be the same arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia during a Riyadh Season event. His excellency Turki Alalshikh was the one who confirmed the details. He writes: "The rematch between the Undisputed Champion Oleksandr Usyk and the Champion Tyson Fury is now scheduled on the 21 of December 2024 during Riyadh Season...The world will watch another historical fight again...Our commitment to boxing fans continues...We hope you enjoy it."
After losing for very first time in his career, Tyson Fury definitely wants to be the man who finally gets to beat Oleksandr Usyk in a fight. This time around, the BRitish heavyweight will undergo even more gruesome training in preparation for the biggest fight of his career. The last time he fought Usyk was already the biggest fight of Tyson Fury's career but he did't realize it until he was already inside that ring and almost getting knocked out. Perhaps now that his career is on the line, Fury will take his preparation a little more seriously and we can see a better performance from him on December 21.
