It was a reasonably quiet and fewer than entertaining press convention at this time in London, this as WBA, WBC and WBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury got here collectively forward of their December twenty first rematch in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Each champ Usyk and former champ Fury have been stuffed with respect for each other, with there being zero trash-talk from both facet.
A shaven-headed Usyk, who wore a go well with and leather-based gloves and was carrying a briefcase, with him trying each bit like a Bond villain, had a brief and candy reply when requested if he has to do something completely different within the return battle – “No,” Usyk mentioned. Usyk additionally requested Fury to signal a photograph from the battle, and Fury did so.
Fury mentioned he “hopes we benefit from the battle as a lot as I’ll,” with the previous champ saying he should be “a little bit extra targeted” within the sequel. The 2 fighters smiled as they posed for photos, and each males appeared relaxed if a little bit subdued in Usyk’s case. In truth, at instances, each males seemed to be bored and sat on the pinnacle desk. As they went face-to-face, Fury was all smiles, with him even tickling Usyk at one level.
Fury, so typically a really risky, aggressive talker eager to sling a ton of insults and use a lot foul language, was something however that at this time. All enterprise is the outline one would use when describing Fury on the presser. Maybe essentially the most attention-grabbing factor Fury mentioned was how he has scored KO wins in a variety of return fights of his, and that he “envisages an analogous consequence” within the rematch with Usyk.
A second distance battle seems much more seemingly, and we hope each males give their greatest on the evening.
Will it’s Repeat or Revenge on December 21?
