Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are getting ready for another big fight next month. Both boxers want to prove they're the best heavyweight in the world.
In their first fight, Usyk won after 12 rounds. He became the undisputed heavyweight champion, adding to his impressive list of achievements. Usyk had already been the undisputed cruiserweight champion and won an Olympic gold medal.
After the fight, Fury said he had too much fun in the ring. He promised he'd do better next time. Usyk, on the other hand, said he's not done with boxing yet and won't retire anytime soon.
What many people don't know is that Fury fought despite a personal tragedy. His wife had a miscarriage shortly before the first fight. This might have affected his performance, even though he denied having any problems in his corner during the fight.
Oscar De La Hoya, a former world champion and current CEO of Golden Boy, shared his thoughts on the upcoming rematch in an interview. He thinks the second fight will be different.
"Usyk will be better, faster, wiser, tougher, and have a better understanding of Fury. But Fury's head is going to be there for once. What he did, fighting despite what happened, is unbelievable."
De La Hoya believes the fight is a 50-50 chance for both boxers. In the end, he gives a slight edge to Tyson Fury.
The boxing world can't wait to see how this rematch turns out. Will Usyk keep his titles, or will Fury come back stronger? We'll find out next month when these two heavyweight giants step into the ring again.
