Heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk remained silent after receiving a message from his rival Tyson Fury. Usyk made history by beating ‘The Gyspy King’ back in May and becoming the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999.
The fight’s turning point was in the ninth round, where Usyk landed powerful blows that almost knocked Fury out. Many believed the fight should have been stopped at that moment. Both fighters are scheduled for a rematch in December, promising an exciting night for boxing fans.
Fury was seen praising Usyk after Anthony Joshua’s loss to Daniel Dubois, calling it a “boxing lesson” to both Joshua and Dubois. Fury then took to Instagram to trash talk Usyk before the rematch, but Usyk responded in a respectful and humorous manner.
Usyk shared that he and Fury exchanged pleasantries after Joshua’s fight and expressed his confidence in winning the upcoming match. On the other hand, Fury revealed that he has not started his training camp for the rematch yet, planning to begin in six weeks.
Despite the trash talk and lack of training from Fury, both fighters are gearing up for what is expected to be an intense rematch in December. Boxing fans are eagerly anticipating the outcome of this highly anticipated fight between two heavyweight champions.
