Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk rematch makes zero sense, however the Gypsy King has stubbornly determined that’s what he needs.
Fury is demanding a rematch for a struggle in October, simply 5 months after being pummeled and needing to be saved by the referee within the ninth spherical eight days in the past on Might 18th.
All of us noticed it, and it wasn’t fairly to look at, seeing Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) getting the stuffing out of him by the unified heavyweight champion Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs).
Even when the rematch is moved to November, the 35-year-old Fury will nonetheless be asking numerous himself to leap again within the ring towards the spritely mixture puncher Usyk so quickly.
A Missed Alternative for a Golden Goodbye
A second defeat may depart Fury a damaged, battered mess and too far gone to be value placing him in with AJ. It wouldn’t even be sporting to see Fury combating Anthony Joshua after a second loss to Usyk.
Ideally, Fury ought to have chosen to not take the rematch and as an alternative confronted Anthony Joshua in a cash-out struggle in Saudi Arabia, the place he would get a boatload of cash.
That may have been a candy retirement payday for Fury towards Joshua, which might have been one other alternative for a golden parachute.
It wouldn’t have mattered if Fury misplaced as a result of it could have been a retirement match for the outdated Gypsy King.
As an alternative, Fury has chosen to activate the rematch and take his probabilities in a second struggle towards his superior. The Joshua struggle will nonetheless be there if Fury loses once more, however he’ll be in dangerous form mentally and maybe bodily after Usyk is thru with him within the rematch.
I feel Fury is silly to struggle Usyk once more as a result of the Ukrainian expertise has clearly acquired his quantity, and it’ll solely worsen for him within the second struggle. Usyk will begin the place he left off, treating the start of the struggle like spherical 9 and hoping this time that the referee doesn’t step in to save lots of Fury like final time.
Specialists Query October Return
“Neglect about who he’s going to struggle subsequent. There’s imagined to be a rematch. I can’t imagine it’s going to occur in October,” stated Teddy Atlas on his YouTube channel, speaking in regards to the lately crushed Tyson Fury combating undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk probably combating a rematch in October.
“After what these males have been via bodily, however they’ve been via three camps consecutively. The struggle was imagined to occur as soon as. It didn’t occur. Tyson Fury acquired damage. Then he acquired reduce, and that was the second.”
The one which will likely be affected extra by the quick October turnaround is Fury, not Usyk as a result of he was the one which was badly damage within the ninth spherical, fully out on his toes and saved by the ref.
Coming again in October after that form of shellacking will likely be tough for Fury, and we may probably see the match postponed a few times on Tyson’s finish. Don’t be stunned if sparring leaks spring up, with studies of Fury getting crushed up by his sparring companions.
After all, there will likely be denials, however followers will put two and two collectively when sparring companions are despatched house. They’ll imagine the rumors after they see Fury with black eyes, cuts, and whatnot.
“I doubt in 5 months in October; I doubt they are often prepared bodily to do that once more. I can’t imagine it. That’s what they’re speaking about, and that’s the date on the contract, however contracts are solely nearly as good because the ink on the paper, and that ink will be crossed out,” stated Atlas.
Revenge or Simply Sheer Stupidity?
“He’s going to be motivated, and he’ll watch the struggle again and look the place the struggle went flawed from seven onwards as a result of there was a second within the sixth the place everybody was going, ‘He’s going to cease Usyk in a minute. He’s going to beat him,’” stated boxing analyst Gareth A. Davies to iFL TV about how shortly the fortunes modified for Fury within the Usyk struggle. “There was that feeling at ringside, and it wasn’t simply me. It was many individuals.
One of the best guess could be for Fury to swallow his pleasure, overlook in regards to the Usyk rematch, and take the Joshua payday struggle as an alternative. This rematch has catastrophe written throughout it for Fury.
“There’s sufficient in there for him to go once more and take a look at being aggressive. He’s going to have it on his thoughts now to get revenge,” stated Gareth.
