Former unified heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) is confident that he will avenge his loss to WBC/WBA/WBO heavyweight world champion Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) on DAZN PPV Saturday from the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
How does it feel to be the biggest show in Riyadh?
“I’m the only show in town. This time around everything is pretty much the same. It’s the biggest event of my life, so in that regard it’s pretty much the same. From one biggest event to the next biggest event. I’m looking forward to putting on a show as always.”
What can we expect differently in round 13?
“I’m going to knock him out. I’m going to give Turki what I promised him in May, a cooked rabbit in his kitchen. That’s my promise!”
What is your favorite moment of this week?
“My favorite moment will be getting my hand raised on Saturday night.”
Usyk stops fury in the later rounds. Hopefully the red knows what he’s doing this time around.
Fury may win this fight but he will remain a monumental knob.
Talk is cheap. I see a similar fight as the last time. Lets see.
You have Fury’s record wrong.
I am pretty sure we all have heard Fury’s blowhard predictions in the past promising this and that. Yet, in the first fight, his own prediction was far from the actual outcome against Usyk. Either way, I will be glad when Fury retires from boxing. A little bit of him goes a long way in terms of social tolerance with his blowhard mouth. I respect Usyk’s humble approach and great sportsmanship in boxing.
– Agree.
– Looking for Usyk to end the Fury circus……
I could have wrote the same thing myself!
Come on Fury, revenge and get my $50.00 back
Tai, I’m not going do it, I’m not! JK. I gotta feeling you are getting your money back this time.
Fury, 34-1-1, Usyk, 22-0.
And the guy who wrote this, his first sentence he puts Fury’s record as undefeated and then says he is going to try to avenge his only loss.
But, it doesn’t matter with the amount these guys are gonna get paid. 37 (almost 38) and 36 year old boxers should retire after cashing in one last time.
Tom, I disagree. What if this is really an epic, legendary fight? Then they should do it again, and again.
Like on the old times.
blah blah blah , not if he shows up fatter and slower
“What can we expect differently in round 13?” Who’s doing this interview?!…..
In the first fight, and this was never really discussed, I think Usyk hurt Fury with something very early. Fury was pawing at his face from the first round and constantly trying to clear his nose. To me, it really set the tone and Fury sort of faded. I haven’t seen a fight with Fury fading; normally, he’s good for the distance without much problem.
I’m on Fury, but this is close to 50/50. Honestly, I find both guys to be interesting characters and would support either against most other heavies.
Bummer that Itauma and Fisher are on the card and not fighting each other.
I can’t imagine Fury being able to win any other way.
Fury gets DQ’d and Usyk declared the winner.
He grew a beard to get a little extra cushioning in the jaw, huh? Beards in boxing, one of my pet peeves.
Beards are for hipsters and dudes that are too lazy to shave. Jeremiah Johnson was a mountain man not a yuppie. Waiting for all the haters with beards to give the thumbs down. All of the renaissance men. Ever notice all the bald guys have to have facial hair to make up for the lack on top? They feel naked without the hair lip and chin fuzz.
Go ahead all you hairy bastards. Flip me off.
Facial hair does not make you manly. Did
Geromimo need a mustache? Did General Patton? Did Muhammad Ali? Make America
clean shaven again. S-H-A-V-E! And lose the
earring. There’s nothing manly about a man wearing an earring. If your grandpa didn’t wear an earring, you shouldn’t either!
C’mon all you scruffy haters! Pile on, bro!
I need more thumbs down! Give it up!
Get some! HAHAHA!!!!!
I’m not at all a beard hater, but beards were not allowed in boxing for many years for very good reasons, and that rule may still be on the books, but it’s not being enforced. It is just common sense to observe that a big beard will have a cushioning effect against punches to the jaw.
Boxing hasn’t been the same since 15 round fights went bye bye.
I hope Usyk wins but give Fury a 51% chance Remember Fury vs Wilder2 …….
Actually I’d give Fury a better chance than that. He was way ahead after the 7th round in the first fight. He let Usyck back into the fight and he paid for it. I don’t think that will happen this time.
Rumor has it Putin is furys cut man and Biden is uysk cut man with trump as the third man can anyone verify that information for me and let me know
Unless Usyk ages suddenly in this fight, he should win easier than he did in the 1st fight. The 1st fight confirmed that Fury’s massive height and weight advantage pose a big problem for Usyk. In the middle rounds, when Usyk stayed within Fury’s punch-radius, Usyk was getting punished. The solution? With Usyk’s superior footwork and athleticism, stay OUTSIDE Fury’s punch-radius, dart INSIDE Fury’s punch-radius, punish Fury with rapid and precisely-placed shots from different angles, rinse-and-repeat. Usyk is an intelligent man, and he will certainly have registered this pattern. Fury only wins if Usyk makes stupid mistakes. And Usyk is not a stupid man. Usyk by UD.
Everybody’s hair texture is different, Blunderbluss. More course and tightly curly hair can cause razor bumps as the hair can curl and grow into the skin causing in grown hairs; so a more logical look for individuals with that hair texture, is to grow a beard. Jesus and Moses had beards and they were some of the most influential men in history.
Can someone please explain the round 13 thing? I watched the grand arrivals and the interviewer asked Usyk about his thoughts on Fury’s promise of a round 13 KO. The interviewer seemed like kind of a dolt…was it her f***up?
fury needs to go back as being a gypsy he doesnt belong in boxing
