Fury: "Usyk, I'm Coming for You!"

Former British WBC champion Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) has returned to training after his loss in the fight for the undisputed heavyweight championship (over 90.7 kg) against Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs).

Both fighters have agreed to a rematch, which will take place on December 21 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

"I have conquered everything in boxing – titles, records, everything. But I have never had to come back from a defeat.

On December 21 in Riyadh, in the heart of the Kingdom, the king will reclaim his throne and become the undisputed champion. Oleksandr Usyk, I'm coming for you! Prepare for the Gypsy King!

The path to redemption belongs to me. I know what I need to do, I have seen my flaws, and I believe I will inevitably correct them," Fury stated.

Recently, a video surfaced showing a man resembling Tyson Fury, appearing intoxicated, in a pub in Morecambe – the former champion’s hometown. In the video, security is seen asking the man to leave the premises, and outside, he loses his balance and falls to the ground, struggling to get up.

Additionally, a source close to the Fury family revealed disputes between Tyson and his wife Paris over the fight with Oleksandr Usyk: "She had all these concerns – not to mention the anger about Tyson taking the first fight. She had to put the arguments aside to focus on making sure he didn’t spiral after his defeat. Hence, if there’s a rematch, she’ll have to go through another cycle, and she dreads it.

She begged Tyson not to take the first fight. They had fierce arguments about it. Ultimately, she couldn’t even attend to watch the bout because she knew what would likely happen – and what would happen afterward."

After Tyson defeated Wladimir Klitschko and subsequently retired in 2015, he fell into deep depression and drug addiction. Paris said those were "the worst few years of our lives." She now fears that the situation could repeat itself.
