Tyson Fury: “Born A Winner,” Unfazed By Rematch Pressure

Tyson Fury says he wonā€™t react with surprise if heā€™s victorious against Oleksandr Usyk in their rematch on Saturday night.

He states he was ā€œborn a winner,ā€ and a win over the unified heavyweight champion Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) would be no different from the other 34 wins heā€™s racked up during his 16-year career.

Hopefully, heā€™s serious because he partied and ate like a madman after his upset victory over Wladimir Klitschko in 2015. The Gypsy King ballooned up to nearly 400 lbs and stayed out of the ring for 2 1/2 years, celebrating.

For Fury to react that way, he didnā€™t think he was going to be victorious, and he may have doubts that heā€™ll have his hand raised against Usyk. In other words, when Fury speaks, heā€™s not being real with people.

Born A Winner?

ā€œThatā€™s what I do. I win. I was born a winner, and Iā€™ll die a winner. A few wins in between doesnā€™t mean that much to me,ā€ said Tyson Fury to Queensberry Promotions when asked what heā€™ll do if heā€™s victorious against Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday.

A Checkered Past

That defeat that Fury suffered against Usyk should have been #3 on his resume and not his first, as his first match with John McDermott on September 11, 2009, was clearly a gift decision, and his first match against Deontay Wilder should have been a knockout loss. That was the one where Fury was out cold in the 12th and was given a count by the referee. The fight should have been stopped on the spot.

ā€œI think Fury has got it in him. This is his biggest fight, his comeback. He will never have a bigger fight coming back from defeat,ā€ said Gareth A. Davies to talkSport Boxing. ā€œMuhammad Ali came back from defeat to become a heavyweight champion. Tyson Fury can do it.

ā€œFury didnā€™t keep his long guard going long enough, and he can do that in this fight. He hurt Usyk to the body with uppercuts as well, time and time. Heā€™ll employ all of that. What Usyk will do differently this time. Who knows? Maybe he will move more and be more elusive, but itā€™s going to be a fascinating, fistic chess match as they go into the 13th round.

ā€œI understand heā€™s in better condition,ā€ Gareth said about Fury. ā€œHe had that cut over his right eye to deal with in the last camp, of course.ā€

The Ali comparison by Gareth was a bit much, even for him. If Fury were a talent like that, he wouldnā€™t have any problems on Saturday against Usyk.
