Heavyweight Boxing Rematch Promises to Surpass First Epic Clash

Promoter Frank Warren is confident that the highly anticipated rematch between current undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury will eclipse the intensity and drama of their first bout on May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

In an interview with the Queensberry Promotions YouTube channel, Warren expressed his excitement for the return match, scheduled for December 21 in Saudi Arabia. “It was an unbelievable fight the first one,” he said. “The biggest fight of the 21st Century, an unbelievable heavyweight fight, nothing in it. Both guys left everything in the ring, they both gave their all and they want to dance again so that’s going to happen.”

Controversy and Drama Expected in Rematch

The initial clash saw Usyk secure a split-decision victory in a closely contested war. According to Warren, the rematch will benefit from the aftermath of the first fight, which he described as “a superb fight” with a “controversial outcome” from Fury’s perspective.

“It will be much bigger than the first one because of how close it was, what a dynamic fight it was, how dramatic it was, it will have all that again and more next time. I promise you,” Warren declared.

Fury’s Strategy for the Rematch

Addressing Fury’s strategy for the rematch, the promoter emphasized the need for the British heavyweight to rely on his technical prowess. “He’s got to do what he does well which is box, go out there, get behind his jab, use his jab and let his shots go. And he did that. And up until mid-fight he really got on top of it for me,” Warren explained.

While both fighters will need time to recover from the initial taxing encounter, Warren is confident the rematch will captivate boxing fans worldwide. “Having said that, that fight will take a lot out of both of them. They need that time to recover and it will be interesting to see who has learned the most from the first fight.”
