Tyson Fury failed once more final Saturday evening, shedding in his rematch in opposition to three-belt heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk in Turki Alalashikh’s card in Riyadh. This newest defeat by Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs) raises questions on whether or not his fights in opposition to Deontay Wilder sapped one of the best a part of him, leaving the weak shell that Usyk (23-0, 14 KOs) outboxed for a 12-round unanimous resolution victory.
Fury followers hoped he would use his huge gargoyle 55 lb weight and six-inch top benefit to subdue the smaller Usyk. The Gypsy King’s group thought he might do to Usyk what he’d achieved in opposition to Wilder of their second battle in 2020. This was possible Fury’s child.
Tyson got here up with the thought to achieve a bunch of weight from the 262 he’d weighed within the first battle and attempt to use his measurement to maul Usyk as he’d achieved in opposition to Deontay 1,764 yesterdays in the past.
Age And Wealth Take Their Toll
The 36-year-old Fury couldn’t do it as a result of he’s not the spry, energetic fighter he was 4 years in the past when he destroyed Deontay in 4 rounds. Age, weight acquire, a poorly thought-out sport plan, and big wealth have sapped every thing out of Fury. Therefore, he had nothing left to fend off Usyk.
The model of Fury that beat Wilder would have been an excessive amount of for Usyk, however he’s not that fighter anymore. The witch’s brew of age, weight, and being wealthy made him a simple mark for the proficient unified heavyweight champion Usyk.

The punch stats present clearly that Usyk was the clear winner. After the battle, fury made a infantile spectacle of himself, complaining concerning the scores and saying he ought to have received by three rounds. He wasn’t even going to attempt to be gracious about his defeat, take the excessive highway to indicate some class. I simply marvel what Turki Alalashikh was considering when he was watching how a lot of a poor sport The Gypsy King was.
