Spencer Oliver believes Tyson Fury will defeat Oleksandr Usyk within the rematch if the “greatest model” of the Gypsy King exhibits up on the night time of December twenty first in Riyadh. Spencer’s solely query is whether or not the perfect model of Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) nonetheless exists.
Fury just isn’t the fighter he as soon as was, however he was by no means nearly as good as followers thought. Lots of his British followers glorify him, saying he was probably the greatest, however by no means beat anybody to earn the reward that they gave him.
If you happen to have a look at Fury objectively, with eyes open, inspecting who he beat, you’d conclude that he was only a creation by calculated matchmaking. He by no means beat anybody good and may have been knocked out in his first and third fights towards Deontay Wilder.
Tyson’s solely notable win got here towards a washed 39-year-old, gunshy Wladimir Klitschko. This wasn’t a younger Wladimir that Fury beat. Klitschko was close to 40 and had regarded poor in his earlier battle towards Bryan Jennings in April 2015.
A younger model of Wladimir would have destroyed Fury. Additionally, among the fighters from Wladimir’s period, like Corrie Sanders, Lennox Lewis, and Vitali Klitschko, would have wiped the ground with him as effectively.
The best way Fury regarded towards Usyk of their earlier battle on Could 18th, he’ll lose the rematch by knockout. His path of successful is a controversial choice as a result of he doesn’t possess the abilities, athleticism, or cardio to defeat Usyk. We noticed that final time. Furthermore, Usyk is aware of he’s received to knock Fury out, which is why he had him signal a photograph throughout their kickoff press convention final week.
The picture confirmed Fury in bother within the ninth spherical of their battle. Usyk was sending the message that he wouldn’t enable Fury to make it the gap as a result of he didn’t wish to put it within the fingers of the judges.
Given the large cash at stake in a Fury vs. Anthony Joshua battle in early 2025, Usyk is aware of he has to knock Tyson out.
Fury is 36, hasn’t overwhelmed any top-level heavyweights since his victory over Wladimir Klitschko in 2015, and he didn’t even look spectacular in that battle.
Tyson’s Resume Since 2018
– Oleksandr Usyk
– Francis Ngannou
– Dereck Chisora
– Dillian Whyte
– Deontay Wilder x 3
– Otto Wallin
– Tom Schwarz
– Francesco Pianeta
– Sefer Seferi
You should commend the promoters for Fury for the bang-up job they did matching him as a result of he might have misplaced many occasions over in the event that they’d thrown him to the sharks: Zhilei Zhang, Martin Bakole, Filip Hrgovic, Daniel Dubois, and Joseph Parker. Fury would have by no means overwhelmed any of these fighters in his profession. Even a teenage model of Dubois would have been an excessive amount of for Fury.
“He solely has to make slight changes. Pay attention, the perfect model of Tyson Fury beats the perfect model of Oleksandr Usyk,” stated Spencer Oliver to talkSport Boxing, believing that Tyson Fury can beat Oleksandr Usyk if he brings his “greatest model” of himself. “I feel he has the capabilities of successful that battle. It’s simply whether or not the perfect model of Tyson Fury continues to be round.”
The issue is that the perfect model of Fury is lengthy gone within the rearview mirror, left behind since his greatest profession win over Wladimir Klitschko in 2015. After that battle, Fury celebrated like a madman, consuming approach to almost 400 lbs, and didn’t battle for 2 and a half years till 2018.
The Gyspy King Fury grew to become overweight, and he’s not been the identical since, though he made a profitable comeback towards marginal opposition. Within the six years since Fury made his comeback, the perfect win on his ledger is Deontay Wilder, which doesn’t say a lot now that we all know that he was by no means a very good fighter. Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang’s wins over Wilder took a lot of the shine away from Fury’s wins over him.
There’s nobody else that Fury has overwhelmed in his comeback to recommend that the “greatest model” of him will defeat Usyk on December twenty first. That simply appears like a bunch of poppycock from Spencer, suggesting that he hasn’t taken a detailed, essential have a look at Fury’s resume to look at who he has really overwhelmed since 2018.
“When Tyson Fury misplaced the battle by one level on one of many scorecards, it was very shut on the scorecards. One level separated them each,” stated Spencer. “There’s not big changes that should be made [for Fury]. Neglect altering the workforce. Andy Lee and Sugarhill Steward are nice trainers.”
Spencer sounds deluded. Small changes is not going to assist Fury for his rematch with Usyk as a result of he wants huge ones that he’s not able to making within the bodily state that he’s in now. He’s 36, however he appears 20 years older than that. He seems to be in his mid-50s and getting old like a canine. Have you learnt how a canine ages 7 years for each human one 12 months?
Fury has been getting old like that recently, and there’s no approach that he can win the rematch until he survives the 12 rounds and wins a controversial choice. I don’t see the judges giving it to Usyk on the scorecards; he is aware of that. That’s why he’s going to be trying to knock out the lumberjack-esque Fury on December twenty first.
Usyk just isn’t going to permit the judges to select the winner of this battle, particularly after what occurred to him final time he fought Fury, with the referee swooping out of nowhere to provide a standing eight rely to Gypsy King within the ninth spherical.
