Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury got here face-to-face on the conclusion of their closing press convention on Thurs., simply two days in entrance of their heavyweight boxing rematch scheduled for Sat. night time (Dec. 21, 2024) LIVE on DAZN pay-per-view (PPV) from inside Kingdom Enviornment in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Longest staredown in historical past?
I’m unsure if metrics exist for such a factor however the face off between Vasiliy Lomachenko and George Kambosos earlier this yr in Perth — which lasted greater than three minutes — feels rushed in comparison with the epic, 11-minute staring contest between Usyk and Fury, who refused to interrupt eye contact.
Let’s hope this weekend’s rematch is simply as intense.
“He’s one among these enigmas as a result of he’s type of foolish — however as soon as he will get within the ring it’s all enterprise,” former WBC mild middleweight world champion instructed DAZN. “Oleksandr Usyk is a superb champion due to footwork. Footwork and nice struggle IQ. How we dissect opponents from that southpaw perspective.”
