Fury expects to knock Usyk out of the heavyweight boxing title fight Debate News

Tyson Fury vows to focus ahead of his much-anticipated rematch with Oleksandr Usyk on December 21.

Tyson Fury has said he will knock out Oleksandr Usyk in a rematch of their unbeaten world title after losing his unbeaten record in Ukraine.

Usyk won a split decision when the two first met in May and will fight for the WBA, WBC and WBO titles again in Riyadh on December 21.

Fury was on a 35-fight unbeaten run before facing Usyk in the Saudi capital and vowed to exact revenge in style if his fight history suffers.

Fury, a British citizen who describes himself as an Irish Traveller, knocked out Deontay Wilder and Derek Chisora ​​in their second and third meetings in the past after finishing 12 rounds against both in his first fight.

“I have to be a little more focused and smart to win,” Fury said at a press conference in London on Wednesday.

“My fights with people, I always take them out, so I think the same about Usyk.”

Usyk is undefeated in his 22 fights and took the opportunity to enjoy himself at Fury’s expense in front of the cameras.
