Tyson Fury posted a message on Instagram right now, telling unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk that he made a “mistake” by not ending him off final Might of their first struggle. Now, Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) says he’s going to make Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) “really feel the wrath’ on December twenty first of their rematch in Riyadh.
The Gypsy King has been stewing on his loss, and it’s obtained to be consuming away at him, the disgrace, and he’s lastly chosen to pipe up.
Fury has been principally quiet since dropping to Usyk, which is interpreted by followers that he’s a fallen monarch. He’s been booted out of the dominion and mendacity low, attempting to know what went improper. It’s fairly apparent what Fury did improper.
He spent many of the Usyk struggle, resting together with his again in opposition to the ropes, utilizing the identical technique that he’s employed in his victory in opposition to Wladimir Klitschko in 2015.
The distinction was, Usyk wasn’t afraid to unload on him with artillery, not like Wladimir, and had his method with the Gypsy King that evening. If Usyk hadn’t let his foot off the throttle, he would have had a straightforward knockout within the remaining three rounds. Fury was there for the taking after getting the tar knocked out of him in spherical 9.
“You had your shot however couldn’t end the job! Mistake. Now you’re about to really feel the wrath of a menace,” stated Tyson Fury on Instagram, sending a message to Oleksandr Usyk.
“Gypsy King 2024 is coming for you. December 21 is mine🖕🏼me in opposition to the world 🌍 incoming 3x heavyweight champ.”
If Fury goes to have any probability within the second struggle, he’s obtained to get off his bottom, lose some weight, and regain the shape that he had in his second struggle with Deontay Wilder in 2020. Solely that model of Fury has any shot at defeating Usyk.
The model of Fury that scrapped by with a slender win over Klitschko in 2015 would get machine-gunned to items on the ropes by Usyk. To win the rematch, Fury should go on the assault, let his fingers go, and never be afraid to resort to the previous soiled methods he used on Deontay. He can’t beat a expertise like Usyk by preventing beneath the Marquess of Queensberry’s guidelines as a result of he’s not gifted sufficient.
“Why would you go on the market and again up in opposition to Usyk? He’s a small man. You don’t again up in opposition to a small man. If you happen to again up in opposition to a small man, you give them confidence. He gave him confidence, so now look what occurred,” stated Roy Jones to speak Sports activities Boxing in regards to the mistake Tyson Fury made in opposition to Oleksandr Usyk of their struggle earlier this yr on Might 18th.
The rationale Fury backed up in opposition to Usyk is two-fold:
- Carrying an excessive amount of weight
- Recycled the Klitschko sport plan
It was silly on Fury’s half to return into the struggle with a lot fats round his midsection, however he clearly had packed an excessive amount of weight after his struggle in opposition to Francis Ngannou. Even with back-to-back coaching camps, Fury couldn’t wittle off sufficient weight to be cell.
Recycling the Klitschko sport plan was dumb on Fury’s half as a result of that technique would by no means work as a result of Usyk was not afraid to throw punches. He wouldn’t respect Fury’s weak energy just like the gunshy Wladimir did 9 years in the past. If Fury’s coach, Sugarhill Steward, is the one who got here up with that sport plan, he wants to fireside him if he hasn’t already given him the boot.
“This time, the arrogance goes to be so much more durable as a result of Usyk now is aware of in his head as a result of within the first struggle, he didn’t know he may put Fury down. Now, he is aware of he can put Fury down. If he goes on the market as his regular, methodical Usyk, who may be very sensible and really methodical in the whole lot he does, he’ll beat Fury once more,” stated Jones.
