In May, the first bout between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury took place, where the Ukrainian defeated his opponent and became the undisputed world champion. The rematch between the rivals is scheduled for December 21.
Former cruiserweight world champion and Usyk's opponent, Tony Bellew, has shared his thoughts on the upcoming rematch.
"Fury can defeat Usyk; he is a world-class boxer. However, he will be fighting someone with an incredible style that Tyson cannot figure out. In the first fight, we didn't even see the best version of Usyk, as his best performance is when he fights on the back foot.
That night, he was constantly moving forward with his hands up, choosing to wear Tyson down. But if Usyk decides to fight on the back foot in the rematch, he will be unbeatable," stated Bellew.
The rematch between Usyk and Fury will once again take place in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. Earlier, manager Spencer Brown spoke about Fury's reaction to Usyk relinquishing the IBF belt.
