Oleksandr Usyk thinks Wladimir Klitschko would beat Tyson Fury if they fought again. The Ukrainian heavyweight champ shared his view after beating Fury for the second time on December 22, 2024.
Fury first shocked the boxing world back in 2015. He went to Germany as a big underdog and outboxed Klitschko to become the unified champion. Fury used his lead hand to confuse Klitschko and stop his power punches in a technical 12-round fight.
After that win, Fury fell into depression and addiction. He couldn't make the rematch happen. Klitschko then lost to Anthony Joshua at Wembley stadium, getting stopped in 11 rounds. That led to Klitschko retiring while Fury eventually made his way back to the ring.
Recently, there's been talk about Klitschko coming back. Turki Alalshikh, the man behind Riyadh Season, wanted to make the rematch. But that was only if Fury beat Usyk in their December rematch. Since Fury lost, those chances have shrunk.
When asked who'd win between Fury and Klitschko in a game of winner stays on with Mail Sport Boxing, Usyk didn't hesitate.
"Wladimir Klitschko."
Klitschko might only come back if he can win a world title. There's talk he could fight Daniel Dubois, but he won't face Usyk. As for Fury, he's thinking about retiring or possibly fighting Anthony Joshua next.
