Will Be Easier To Beat, Oleksandr Usyk Has No Doubt Whether Tyson Fury Will Be Easier Or Harder To Beat In Rematch

Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury are set to renew their rivalry in Saudi Arabia in December of this year.

These two modern heavyweight greats put on a superb fight back in May to contest the first undisputed title in almost 25 years.

It was the former Olympic gold medalist and undisputed cruiserweight champion Usyk who came out on top after a close fight that was won off the back of one big ninth round for the Ukrainian.

Despite being the naturally smaller man – which is something he was teased for by Fury for many years – Usyk managed to land a power shot that had Fury momentarily in trouble and taking a 10 count.

That led to some rather confused corner work in Fury’s team with mixed instructions being given on how to see the fight out. Despite that, Fury has said he will keep the same team for the rematch.

Ahead of that, Usyk has been speaking to Mail Sport Boxing about whether or not he thinks the second fight will be harder than the first having already admitted that the first fight with Fury was the hardest of his career.

“No, it won’t be easier.

I think it will be even more difficult. Look, I always set myself up for a hard night, never an easy one. I’m expecting the cosmos that will crush me so only my eyes will see what happening. I get pumped for such things. I don’t think that it will be easier for me, but I don’t need it to be easier. Diamonds cannot be found in easy, because they are not there. You cannot succeed without hard work, everything that is given easily does not grow.”

Fury too has promised he will be better than the first time around which makes this rematch one of the most intriguing fights of the year.
