Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury will meet in the ring again in December of this year

The first twelve-round professional fight for the absolute world heavyweight title took place on May 18, 2024, at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh. In that fight, WBA Super, IBF, WBO, IBO and The Ring world champion Oleksandr Usyk defeated WBC world champion Tyson Fury. After that, Usyk gave up the championship belt, giving a chance to Joshua and Dubois. In the first fight with Fury, Usyk won by split decision. Tyson is known for his scandalous behavior: he appeared at a press conference with Klitschko dressed as Batman, performed offensive songs in the ring and harassed his opponents on social networks. Before the rematch, he had already stated his confidence in victory. However, many believe that the victory will remain with Usyk, who, despite the difficulties, accepted the challenge of the "Gypsy King". Usyk is a disciplined fighter, eats sensibly and trains, while Fury has had his share of troubles with alcohol and addictions. Usyk is also known for his run-ins with the police and his interest in acting and MMA. There is no feud between the fighters on social media, which may indicate that the fight preparations are taking place in seclusion. In December, it will become clear whether Fury can take revenge for his previous defeat.
