The highly anticipated rematch between Tyson Fury Vs Oleksandr Usyk is just around the corner, scheduled for December 21 in Saudi Arabia. Following their intense first bout in May, which saw Usyk narrowly outpoint Fury with a decisive ninth round, all eyes are now on their second showdown.
Fury’s Determination vs. Usyk’s Confidence
Fury, reflecting on his loss, admitted to losing focus and having “too much fun” during the first fight. Determined not to repeat his mistakes, he has promised to deliver a knockout this time. Usyk, however, confidently dismissed the threat, quipping, “In your dreams.”
Hopkins’ Bold Prediction
In an interview with FightHub TV, legendary boxer Bernard Hopkins shared his take on the rematch:
“No, no, no. I think the smaller guy is really the big guy in heart and talent,” Hopkins stated. “I’ve often backed Fury, but Usyk seems to have his number. He’s not a big heavyweight, which works in his favor here. I see Usyk winning, possibly by a mercy stoppage late in the fight.”
Hopkins believes Usyk’s superior ring IQ will wear Fury down as the rounds progress, potentially leading to a referee stoppage rather than a knockout punch.
Key Differences in the Rematch
Here’s what changes in the second fight compared to the first:
- Title Status: Winner will be a unified, not undisputed, champion.
- IBF Belt: Usyk relinquished it, and Daniel Dubois now holds the title.
- Potential Future Opponent: Dubois could face the rematch winner in 2025.
Unified, Not Undisputed
This time, the winner won’t claim the undisputed title. Usyk relinquished the IBF belt to honor the rematch, which Daniel Dubois now holds. Looking ahead, the victor of this clash might set their sights on Dubois in 2025, aiming to unify the titles once again.
