Tyson Fury is set to face Oleksandr Usyk at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh on December 21, a rematch of their intense first bout. The heavyweight giants are both in top shape, having finished training to head into the fight as the best versions of themselves.
Fury recently revealed his intense training efforts on Instagram, captioned: “Working my a– off to regain the championship.” However, fans have expressed concerns about Fury’s heavier physique compared to their last bout. Some claim he looks older or less fit than before.
Despite this, Fury remains confident in his game plan, which is similar to the original bout due to its close result. He plans to use his slipping and rolling technique to get an advantage over Usyk.
“I’m a side-on boxer, slipping, sliding, uppercutting, hooking,” Fury explained in a recent face-to-face with TNT Sports. “I’m going to do that but more focused on my job and I think that’s my way to victory.”
Fury believes he has an edge in size advantage over Usyk, which could be crucial if he can make it count. Meanwhile, Usyk is putting on notice ahead of the fight, as fans weigh their predictions for the matchup between these two heavyweight giants.
