The day Deontay Wilder wanted to disrespect Tyson Fury, after the Englishman’s fatal retirement in 2015, I didn’t realize that it triggered a volcanic eruption. Like all natural disasters, the boxer avoided noticing it until it was right in front of him. An unmatched comeback later, and after knocking out the Bronze Bomber, Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KO) now faces the fight of his life when he faces the Ukrainian Olekandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) for the undisputed heavyweight championship. The most important feud in recent heavyweight history will take place this Saturday in Saudi Arabia before the eyes of the world.
After defeating the ghosts of depression and suicide, he Gypsy King He returned to the ring in 2018. Since then, Fury has maintained his unbeaten recordwith names on the list like his Wilder twice, Derek Chisora either Dillian Whyte, in battles where he is more beautiful and more beautiful than the misunderstanding before said confrontation. At 35 years old, the man from Manchester now finds in this fight against Oleksandr Usyk the opportunity of a lifetime: the two fighters will exchange blows to become the newly unified heavyweight champion. a milestone the boxing scene hasn’t felt since 1999when Lennox Lewis defeated Evander Holyfield on points to get the coveted crown.
“I’ll keep it short and simple.. I want to thank God for the success I have received. And I want to thank everyone involved in organizing this massive event. I want to thank Usyk for showing up and challenging me. And that’s it,” he said. Tyson Fury in a relaxed previous press conference, where he did not exchange any glances with his rival, and said “even on the spot” before the fight with Usyk.
Oleksandr Usyk managed to surprise the world by convincingly defeating the giant Anthony Joshua in 2021. The Ukrainian was crowned heavyweight champion of Titles IBF, WBA and WBO, and now aims to complete the definitive record with a victory over Tyson Fury in Arabia. “I’m excited. I thank your majesty, Mr. Turki is the reason why this fight happened. Let’s make history! The Fury fight is a big event for me, my family and my country. “I can’t wait,” the monarch said at a previous press conference.
Both fighters landed Riyadh in a good moment. The fighter who comes in with more doubt than certainty is the Englishman, who looked less than convincing in his last fight against the former UFC monarch, Francis Ngannou. The Cameroonian achieved the goal of trying boxing and was defeated by split decision in a battle in which the majority of the public conceived him as the loser. Tyson Fury. Now, with a better physique and a different mindset, the Gypsy King Wanted to remove doubts and make history in Saudi Arabia, the same scenario in his fight The Predator.
For his part, Oleksandr Usyk arrived in Arabia after losing Daniel Dubois in August 2023. In a match where he won by knockout, the Ukrainian generated controversy after receiving an apparently weak blow in the middle of the match, which before neither the fan nor the judges present could give a final verdict as to whether it was illegal, or perfectly well struck it in the liver of the boxer area. Finally, a few seconds into the ninth period, Usyk didn’t want to prolong the party any longer and ended with dynamite with a big right jab, straight to the opponent’s jaw.
Saudi Arabia is the new kingdom of boxing. The insistence and money of a country driven by spectacle and great personalities over the years has led to the existence of the most important heavyweight fight of the entire 21st century. The eyes of the boxing world are now on Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyksoldiers who star in the greatest modern milestone in the history of complete boxing.
