The importance of the rematch
For Fury, this fight is more than just another title shot - it's his entire career! Boxing expert Sean Wheelock describes the duel as a “turning point” for the Brit.

Whoever takes control of the fight could emerge victorious. Usyk needs to start quickly and put Fury under pressure, while Fury needs to command respect from the outside with his powerful punches.
