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.
