Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are getting ready for their second heavyweight battle this weekend in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The fighters will compete for three of the four major belts in boxing's premier division.
Usyk won their first encounter in May on points. That fight marked the first undisputed heavyweight clash in 25 years, with the Ukrainian walking away with all four belts. Now, only three titles are up for grabs as the IBF strap has been relinquished, with Daniel Dubois currently holding that belt.
Former world champion Tim Bradley thinks Usyk will finish the job this time. In a YouTube interview, Bradley said he believes Fury's time at the top has run out.
"Tyson Fury is done. His time at the top has expired. You can see it in his recent performances. Francis Ngannou dropped him last year, and he took a lot of punishment in the Deontay Wilder trilogy."
Bradley broke down the first fight, pointing out how Fury started strong but faded after taking some shots. He praised Usyk for outlasting Fury both mentally and physically, suggesting Fury might have stamina issues due to age or preparation.
For the rematch, Bradley expects a different outcome:
"Fury will be busier this time, but Usyk has trained and is ready for that. I think Usyk knocks him out."
Both fighters plan to keep boxing after this fight, regardless of the result. If Fury wins, there's a chance we'll see a third and final fight between these two heavyweight titans.
