By Promoter Frank Warren has indicated that the rematch between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk is on the horizon, with a date expected to be finalized soon. The initial encounter saw Usyk claim a split decision victory to become the undisputed heavyweight champion, a title last held by Lennox Lewis in 1999. The rematch clause, part of their original contract, is set to be activated, reflecting both fighters’ eagerness to face off once more.
Warren, after checking in with Fury post-fight, reported that despite his disappointment, Fury remained philosophical about the outcome. The rematch, already agreed upon before their first bout, is anticipated to be scheduled within the next month.
The first fight was a monumental event, described by Warren as an epic battle between two warriors who left everything in the ring. It was a closely contested match, with Fury initially leading until Usyk’s breakthrough in the ninth round, which nearly ended the fight in his favor.
Warren is confident that Fury, who suffered his first career loss, has the ability to adjust his strategy and come back stronger in the rematch. He recounted a pivotal moment in the seventh round when Fury landed significant uppercuts, causing trouble for Usyk. However, Usyk’s resilience and a powerful shot in the following rounds shifted the momentum.
The upcoming rematch promises to be an even more significant event, as both fighters have endured the toll of their intense first encounter. The boxing community is keen to see how this experience will influence their performance in what is expected to be another thrilling clash.
