Former WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is broadly believed to be on the slide heading into his rematch towards WBA/WBC/WBO champ Oleksandr Usyk on December twenty first in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Fury, 36, has taken numerous punishment in his three fights towards Deontay Wilder and in his earlier match towards Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) on Could 18th, wherein he was badly harm in spherical 9, and out on his ft after taking a heavy bombardment of punches.
DAZN commentator Ade Oladipo feels that Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) isn’t at his peak anymore as a result of punishment he’s absorbed within the final six years, and he’s choosing Usyk to win the rematch. Fury can be well-paid for the rematch and is believed to be getting $100 million for his rematch.
In the course of the kickoff press convention final week, Fury revealed that he has $200 million within the financial institution down from his 16-year professional profession and that he’s preventing for the cash now.
“I don’t know. It’s such combat. I believed Fury seemed a bit leaner, however it’s tough due to his physique form’s a bit unusual,” stated Ade Oladipo to Professional Boxing Followers, discussing how Tyson Fury seemed throughout the kickoff press convention with Oleksandr Usyk final week.
Fury had stated he needed to return in heavier for the match, however he seemed skinny within the higher physique throughout final week’s press convention. It might be that Fury is focusing a lot on dropping pounds that it’s taken away the muscle that he had. He must placed on the sort of bulk that he had for the second combat with Deontay Wilder on February 22, 2020 as a result of that was when he was at his greatest.
“Usyk is simply on, isn’t he? That Hitman outfit, agent 47, he seemed actually good. I believe AJ now is aware of he can harm Fury. Fury now is aware of if he watched the combat that he can harm Usyk. I believe it’s a toss-up combat once more,” stated Ade.
“I’ll go Usyk. I went Usyk earlier than, and he gained. So, I’m going to go for him, however you by no means know. It’s not that simple, although,” stated Ade when advised that Fury can’t let the small man, Usyk, bully him within the ring. “When a small man is that good. When the small man is Oleksandr Usyk, who is among the greatest fighters I’ve ever seen, it’s a bit totally different.
“If we’re being brutally trustworthy, this isn’t peak Fury anymore. That is Fury that’s perhaps a number of years previous his peak. I believed the Fury towards Wladimir Klitschko was the best factor I’ve seen. He’s not that man anymore,” stated Ade.
The model of Fury that beat Wilder of their trilogy match in 2021 could be an enormous drawback for Usyk as properly as a result of he was nonetheless preventing properly again then. He’s all of a sudden misplaced one thing from his recreation since his conflict towards Franciso Ngannou final October and appears older as properly. May it’s age from Fury having fun with himself in between fights by indulging in meals?
“He’s taken numerous punishment. He took numerous punishment towards Deontay Wilder. He took punishment towards Oleksandr Usyk. It can catch as much as you. That’s the way it works, however Usyk has taken punishment as properly. It’s such combat, however I’m going to swing to Usyk once more, however with no confidence,” stated Ade.
It was alarming to see how Usyk harm Fury as a result of this man is just not thought-about to be an enormous puncher, but he wanted to be saved by the referee in spherical 9 after getting harm. Usyk has already made it clear that he’s going to be searching for a knockout within the rematch.
