Promoter Frank Warren has confirmed that Tyson Fury will enforce his rematch clause against Oleksandr Usyk. The anticipated rematch is set for October in Saudi Arabia. This follows their recent bout where both fighters sustained noticeable injuries.
Tyson Fury, having lost to Usyk, expressed his determination for a rematch despite being visibly injured. After the fight, he said, "I’ve just had a fight. As you can see from my face. I’m pretty busted up… He’s busted up too." Fury's insistence on a rematch highlights his drive to reclaim victory.
Oleksandr Usyk, now the undisputed heavyweight champion with WBC, WBA, WBO, and IBF titles, also faces complications regarding his IBF title. The organization may strip him of this title due to an upcoming fight between Filip Hrgovic and Daniel Dubois scheduled for June 1. This could impact the stakes of the October rematch.
According to Warren during a talkSPORT interview, "He’s back here. He’s recuperating and his mood is that he wants the rematch. That is already signed for so that will happen."
