On December 17, Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will square off in Saudi Arabia for the undisputed heavyweight championship.
Currently, it is scheduled for the day prior to the World Cup championship match, which will be played in neighboring Qatar.
Saudi Arabia’s minister of sport, Prince Mohammad Abdulaziz, explained: “The contest for the undefeated heavyweight title has our attention.
There in city of Riyadh, that is what we hope to accomplish.” Usyk claimed that Fury is the only opponent he wants to face after defeating Joshua by split decision. The 35-year-old remarked in the ring, “I’m certain as Tyson Fury isn’t yet retired.” “He definitely wants to fight me, in my opinion. I would like to fight Tyson Fury, and if I don’t, I won’t fight at all.” Fury kept a close eye on his heavyweight competitors and was candid in his evaluation of their performance. He continued by saying he would leave retirement so he could “relieve the Ukrainian dosser” of his belts.
“I just saw Joshua lose to Usyk for the second time, [he was] out the of his depth,” the 34-year-old said. Although England no longer has to tighten its belts, I can provide a treatment and a solution. “Send in the Gypsy barbarian if you want those belts back; if you send me in, I’ll free the Ukrainian dosser of his straps just like I did the previous Ukrainian dosser.
“But it won’t be cheap; you just had to pay for the best if you want it. Get your wallet out because it’s likely to be very expensive, and I’ll take the belts off the Ukrainian dosser. Joshua has already apologized for his actions following the bout. Upon smashing 2 of Usyk’s belts out of the ring, “AJ” stormed out of the arena before returning to give an odd speech.
He tweeted, “I hope @usykaa continued growth in your pursuit of greatness. “You are a champion with class. Yesterday, in order to battle for the championship belts, I had to psychologically put myself in a dark place! I got into two fights—one with Usyk, the other with my emotions—and both won. “I’ll be the first one to acknowledge that I disappointed myself. I made a poor decision because I was acting out of unbridled passion and emotion. I’ll get better after this point forward because I cherish this sport so much. Respect.”
