Tyson Fury, known as the 'Gypsy King,' is preparing for a highly anticipated rematch against Oleksandr Usyk in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, scheduled for December 21, 2024.
This bout is part of the latest Riyadh Season card and will be available on DAZN Pay-Per-View. Fury, who previously lost to Usyk by split decision in May, is determined to reclaim his standing in the heavyweight division.
In the lead-up to this rematch, Fury has been vocal about his strategy and opinions on fellow British heavyweights Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois. He has criticized both fighters, describing them as "limited" compared to himself.
Despite suggestions from fans and analysts to adopt a more aggressive approach against Usyk, Fury insists on maintaining his unique boxing style. He stated, "I plan to approach it much like I did before, focusing on effective boxing. At my size and weight, it’s quite a feat to box and evade, so I see no reason to change that aspect of my game."
Fury's confidence in his technique is evident as he prepares to challenge Usyk for three heavyweight titles. He emphasized that a straightforward approach would be advantageous for Usyk, whereas his own style—characterized by side-on boxing, slipping, and sliding—has proven effective. Fury aims to enhance this strategy with even greater focus for the upcoming fight.
The rematch with Usyk is not only a chance for Fury to regain his titles but also an opportunity to potentially set up a long-anticipated clash with Anthony Joshua, depending on the outcome.
