Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk Set for High-Stakes Rematch in Saudi Arabia

After Usyk's victory in their first bout, the heavyweight champions will face off again on December 21 at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh.

  • Tyson Fury aims to avenge his first career defeat against Oleksandr Usyk, who won their initial fight by split decision in May.
  • The rematch will not include the IBF title, which Usyk vacated and was subsequently claimed by Daniel Dubois.
  • At a recent press conference, Usyk dressed as 'Agent 47' from the Hitman video game, playfully mocking Fury by having him sign a photo from their first fight.
  • Fury has expressed confidence in his ability to win rematches, citing past victories over opponents like Deontay Wilder.
  • Usyk faced a brief arrest in Poland due to a misunderstanding, which was quickly resolved with the help of Ukrainian diplomats and President Zelensky.
