The 2024 boxing schedule has one last scream reserved with the rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, December 21, for the WBA, WBC and WBO heavyweight world titles.
Usyk (21-0, 14 KO) became the first undisputed heavyweight champion in 24 years, but in the rematch all four belts will not be on the line, because the IBF stripped the Ukrainian for ignoring the defense with Daniel Dubois, his mandatory challenger.
In their first fight in May at the same venue, Fury (34-1-1, 24 KO), 36, fell to a visibly smaller fighter in size and reach, Oleksandr Usyk, 37, in a close fight and they will now meet to close out the year.
Tyson Fury was left with the impression that he won in his first fight in which he lost his unbeaten record, and does not plan to change much for the rematch, although he will be focused on not leaving the result again in the hands of the judges and do less clowning around.
“This time I’m going to throw more punches. I’m going to keep hitting him in the face more often than last time,” Fury told AP.
