Is Tyson Fury A Physical Wreck After The Usyk Fight?
A haggard-looking Tyson Fury says he’s going to avenge his loss to Oleksandr Usyk by smashing his face in their DAZN PPV rematch this Saturday night in Riyadh. Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) claims that he beat unified heavyweight champion Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) last time while dealing with a “massive cut” in their first fight on May 18th.
The Physical Wreck
The beating Fury, 36, took in his 12-round split decision loss to Usyk has robbed him of his youth; he now looks 60. Getting thrashed by Usyk accelerated Fury’s aging like a time machine, and he doesn’t look anything like a person in their mid-30s. This won’t end well for the Gyspy King on Saturday.
Usyk appears ready to do the job and finish off Fury once and for all, ending his and Turki Alalshikh’s utterly hopeless dream of a trilogy match in 2025. Turki must take a hard, close look at Tyson and recognize that he’s a physical wreck. He’s had a hard life, having aged like a rock star.
“The mission has never been undisputed. It’s been other people’s mission. My mission is to smash his face right in on Saturday night. There’s no chance he can beat me. None,” said Tyson Fury to TNT Sports Boxing, talking about his rematch against unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday night.
“I ain’t got a cut this time that I’m nursing. I can do everything now. I’ve never been as confident in my life of smashing his face in and doing it on Saturday. I’m going to destroy him on Saturday night. You watch me go to work on him. I beat him last time on a half-mast, nursing a massive cut,” said Fury.
Is This It For Fury?
You can tell from the look on Fury’s gob that he doesn’t mean what he’s saying. He knows he’s in for it on Saturday, and he’s trying to convince the fans to order the fight on PPV so he can make more cash before he’s sent into retirement by Usyk.
Hopefully, after Tyson loses this fight, Turki will get a clue and start focusing on using talented heavyweights for his future Riyadh season cards. This card could be so much better if Martin Bakole or Daniel Dubois were facing Usyk rather than Fury. Moreover, the undercard needs to go completely.
Turki should have said ‘NO’ when the promoters offered undercard fights to him for this event because they loaded it with their domestic-level scrubs. Fans outside of the UK don’t want to see those fights.
