Fury and Usyk: 11 minutes of excitement before the mega fight in Riyadh!
A thrilling duel of giants: Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are about to begin their eagerly awaited title fight!
In a breathtaking moment in boxing history, heavyweight champions Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk faced off in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for over 11 minutes! The atmosphere was electric as the two fighters made intense eye contact at a press conference, which was ultimately only broken by the intervention of WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman.
Fury, the 36-year-old challenger from Manchester, let his anger out and shouted provocative words at 37-year-old Usyk, who left the room with his arms raised as if he had already been declared the winner. A truly dramatic spectacle!
The countdown to the showdown
The title fight takes place on Saturday at the Royal Arena in Riyadh and the anticipation is palpable! Usyk, who beat Fury in a close points decision in May, has appeared calm and composed as Fury does everything he can to ratchet up the tension. "Now we just have a show with lights and cameras. Everything will happen on Saturday," Usyk explained confidently.
Fury, on the other hand, announced that he would “deal out a lot of pain.” “I have nothing more to say except that there will be a lot of pain in this fight, believe me,” he added. "That's it. The talk is over. This time I'm seriously determined to do some serious damage. Watch me do it!"
The rivalry escalates
The rivalry between the two fighters couldn't be greater. Usyk, who dropped the IBF title to mandatory challenger Daniel Dubois after the unification fight, has proven to be the calmer of the two. Fury, known for his loud and provocative manner, tries to keep emotions high.
"The first fight was great; it was a very close fight," said Fury's promoter Frank Warren. "This time it will be about who can exploit each other's weaknesses. I think Tyson Fury will win and I don't think it will go the full distance. Tyson is in great shape and we will have a very special event."
The duel of the giants continues with the weigh-in on Friday, and the excitement couldn't be higher! Who will emerge as champion on Saturday? The world of boxing is watching in fascination!
