Tyson Fury is getting ready to fight Oleksandr Usyk again on December 21 in Saudi Arabia. The British heavyweight wants to win back what he lost in their first match.
Usyk beat Fury in their last fight by split decision. It was a big deal because it was the first time in over 20 years that all the heavyweight titles were on the line. Usyk started strong, then Fury picked up in the middle rounds. But Usyk found another gear late in the fight and even scored a 10-8 round near the end. With that win, Usyk became a four-belt champion in two different weight classes.
Fury still thinks he should've won that fight. He says he just wasn't focused enough. He's sure he'll fix his mistakes this time around.
Shakur Stevenson, who's won world titles in three weight classes and is known for his great defense, thinks Fury will win the rematch. He's so confident, he's even asking people to bet with him.
"I got Fury in the rematch, whoever wanna bet some bread on it hit my line. As long as he in dog shape it's gone be easy! … Usyk is one of the greatest I ever seen to be honest, but if Tyson Fury is in tip top shape and locked in I got him for sure."
This second fight won't be for all the belts though. Usyk gave up his IBF title, which Daniel Dubois now holds. Dubois just beat Anthony Joshua in a big win to keep that belt.
Usyk has had some great wins lately. He beat Dubois easily, and he also beat Anthony Joshua twice before that. He made history by winning all four major belts in two different weight classes.
