Long awaited rematch

The rematch comes after their first encounter in May, where Usyk narrowly defeated Fury via split decision following 12 gruelling rounds of world-class boxing.

A boxing spectacle

Fury took punches like a champion, but fell short against the giant Ukrainian, who gave Fury a ride for his money. Usyk became the first undisputed heavyweight champion since 1999.

A professional

"When he comes to the ring, it's Oleksandr's profession, so he has to fight, and he has to win - but he doesn't have to hate his opponent. He loves his opponent, he respects him," shared Alex Krassyuk, Usyks' promoter.

Fury's response

This level of 'aggression' was not left unnoticed by Fury, who didn't hesitate to match his words. Tyson Fury believes he will "smash this f****er's face right in," according to Eurosport.

Head to head

Fury vowed to 'destroy' the Ukrainian in what looks to be a very promising fight between two giants.

"My mission..."

"The mission has never been undisputed. It's never been my mission. It's been other people's missions. My mission is to smash his face on Saturday night. There's no chance he can beat me, none," shared Fury with TNT Sports.

Final warning

The saber-rattling has been going back and forth, but Usyk has issued his final warning ahead of the rematch on December 21st in Saudi Arabia. "If I have an opportunity to knock out Tyson Fury in the rematch, I will take it," reports Daily Mail.
