We combat followers by no means know the place the subsequent nice boxing trilogy will come from. After an ideal combat, or generally a controversial combat, the decision for a rematch is big. If the 2 warriors are 1-1, the rubber match has to occur, and the trilogy has to occur. May Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury give us the subsequent nice heavyweight trilogy?
Fury, who, after all, has to win the return combat with Usyk on December twenty first to have any shot at sharing a hoop with the one man to have crushed him in a 3rd combat, is brimming with confidence that he’ll get his revenge in Riyadh 4 days earlier than Christmas – and Fury has instructed Boxing King Media that the third combat between him and Usyk will then occur.

If Fury can get the revenge win in December, he and Usyk ought to do it once more, particularly if the second combat is a detailed battle that goes to the scorecards.
Ali-Frazier maybe ranks as the best heavyweight trilogy ever. On the identical time, the three wars Riddick Bowe and Evander Holyfield had, the three powerful fights Ali and Ken Norton had, and the three slugfests Floyd Patterson and Ingemar Johansson engaged in additionally rank very extremely. Possibly, years from now, boxing historians will look again on three epic fights between Usyk and Fury.
