Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk battle it out again on December 21st.

The heavyweights collided in an enthralling contest last May with the Ukrainian having his hand raised after winning via a split-decision verdict.

In round nine, Usyk sent ‘The Gypsy King’ stumbling all over the ring with many believing he was fortunate that the referee didn’t stop the contest.

To his credit he recovered well and managed to take the fight to the scorecards, but ultimately fell short in his bid to become the undisputed champion.

On the recent face-to-face Fury and Usyk talked about the key moment of the first fight.

Fury said: “He could have punched me with that punch a million times and it may not have had any effect, but he punched me and it had effect, and that was great for him.”

Usyk gave a typical response to Fury by replying,”It was perfect.”

Fury then upped the mind games by criticising Usyk’s inability to finish him off even though he was badly hurt.

He said: “But you had your little chance to knock me out and you didn’t do it b—h, could you?!

“Hit me with 10 shots in a row and you couldn’t do it. You could not put me down on Bambi legs, you hit me with 10 shots. No canvas touched, you’re f—d in the rematch.

“Like Tupac, you hit me with your best shots and couldn’t do f—k all. You know what’s coming for you, I’m going to f—k you up.”

 

Will it be repeat or revenge? Let us know in the comments.
