Tyson Fury's getting ready for a big fight in December. The former heavyweight champ wants to win back his title from Oleksandr Usyk after losing to him in May.
Fury's had a wild ride in boxing. He first won a world title back in 2015 when he beat Wladimir Klitschko away from home. After some time off and putting on weight, he came back strong. He knocked out Deontay Wilder to get his belt back, then beat him again in another KO. He also won fights against Derek Chisora and Dillian Whyte.
Recently, Fury fought Francis Ngannou, a UFC champ new to boxing. He won, but got knocked down early. Then in May, he lost his undisputed match-up with Usyk on points in a close fight.
Now, Fury's working hard to make the necessary adjustments to win the rematch in December. But not everyone thinks he'll do it.
Riddick Bowe, a former heavyweight champ and Hall of Famer, shared his thoughts with Pro Boxing Fans. Bowe was the last undisputed heavyweight champion from the US and knows a thing or two about big fights. He won two out of three against Evander Holyfield.
"Not Fury. I don't think he have it no more. He don't have it like he used to. Time changed, he can't take a punch like he used to. Even like myself, there was a time where I was tired of doing it and I didn't want to get hit no more."
Bowe thinks Usyk will beat Fury again. He feels Fury's lost his edge and can't take hits like before. He also wonders if Fury's just tired of getting hit.
Usyk's got all the belts at cruiserweight and heavyweight now. The only other fighter to do that was Evander Holyfield. If this fight's close, we might see Fury and Usyk go for a third match, just like Holyfield and Bowe did back in the day.
