USYK FULL OF CONFIDENCE AHEAD OF FURY REMATCH – Usyk is unbeaten in 22 professional fights
World heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk was full of confidence a little over a week ahead of his rematch with British boxer Tyson Fury, saying on Thursday (December 12) that he has been “preparing for this my entire life.”
Usyk beat Fury on a split-decision in Saudi Arabia in May to become the four-belt undisputed heavyweight champion and they will fight again in the Gulf State on December 21.
The Ukrainian boxer said he has fine-tuned his approach in training which he said he returned to just a week after their last fight.
Usyk, unbeaten in 22 professional fights, added Fury’s WBC title to his WBA, WBO and IBF collection after clinching victory. He later vacated his IBF title which has since been won by Britain’s Daniel Dubois.
