Tyson Fury is gearing up for a rematch with Oleksandr Usyk in October in Saudi Arabia. Fury, who lost to Usyk in their last bout, is determined to win back his unified heavyweight title. While the odds currently favor Usyk, Fury is eager to prove himself in the rematch.
Promoter Frank Warren has confirmed the signed rematch, ensuring it will proceed as planned. There have been uncertainties regarding Usyk’s agreement for the rematch, but Usyk’s promoter, Alexander Krassyuk, has assured their commitment to the fight.
If Usyk agrees to face Fury again, he risks forfeiting his IBF title by not meeting mandatory challenger Filip Hrgovic. This decision also impacts a potential showdown between Fury and Anthony Joshua. The Usyk-Fury rematch is slated for October 12 at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh.
