The boxing evening Tyson Fury vs. Alexander Usyk is approaching!

A former English and European heavyweight champion, Fury became the unified world heavyweight champion in 2015. He defeated Wilder in 2020 to become the WBC heavyweight champion, engaging in an epic trilogy against the Bronze Bomber. Fury defeated Francis Ngannou in October 2023, but was knocked down by the former UFC champion, delaying his guaranteed fight with Usyk by several months.

A 2012 Olympic gold medalist, Usyk won the WBO cruiserweight title in 2016. By 2018, he had already become the undisputed champion in his weight class. Usyk moved up to heavyweight in 2019 and defeated Anthony Joshua by unanimous decision in September 2021 to become the WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight champion two years ago.  

Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk fought for the title of absolute heavyweight boxing champion, and the Ukrainian won. However, Usyk then gave up the championship title in favor of Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois. Dubois defeated Joshua this September in the UAE at the Edihad Arena by knockout in the fifth round and retained the IBF championship belt.

The upcoming rematch between Usyk and Fury will not be a championship fight. A press conference has already been held ahead of the meeting in December. 37-year-old Ukrainian Usyk changed his image, abandoning the national-political theme, and appeared in the role of a famous character from a computer game, and even demanded an autograph on a photo of the past fight from his opponent. Although a scandalous appearance was expected rather from Fury, who is a master at singing obscene songs in the ring, and at one time came to a conference with Klitschkov in a Batman costume. 

The "Gypsy King" became active in social networks and said that he was preparing for a fight with Usyk, assuring that this time he would emerge victorious. It is known that Usyk, as usual, adheres to iron discipline in training, nutrition, and concentration. Fury is preparing for a meeting with his "sworn" rival in Malta. After the defeat, Fury did not accept him with dignity, as, incidentally, always does. The "Gypsy King" has been playing on the fans' pity for a long time on the Internet, saying that Usyk was convicted because of politics, and embellished the fact that he broke the Ukrainian's jaw. The winner's team claims that he did not break his jaw - these are the consequences of old injuries, of which the "Gypsy King" has plenty. Fury is generally prone to complaints and depression when he loses. And the decision in favor of Usyk by the judges was ambiguously the same, so this also added to the PR around the past heavyweight fight.

The rematch promises to be a fight between the best boxers, and its outcome is unpredictable. In December, Usyk and Fury will fight for the status of not the absolute, but the unified world champion. If Usyk defeats the intractable Briton again, their confrontation will logically be over, because the Ukrainian will have two victories. 

Tickets for the fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury are a duel of the greatest heavyweights in real time in one of the best world arenas, as well as an opportunity to support your favorite athlete.
