On December 21, Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, will host the highly anticipated rematch between WBA, WBC, WBO, and IBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) and Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs).
Prominent boxers, promoters, and experts shared their exclusive predictions for Ready to Fight on what they’re calling the "Rematch of the Century."
Ben Shalom: “This is just a crazy fight, and I think no one can accurately predict the outcome.”
Eddie Hearn: “If you think logically, it would be foolish to bet against Usyk.”
Wladimir Klitschko: “Usyk will repeat what he did in the first fight.”
Joseph Parker: “I like how Tyson is preparing for this fight, and I think he’s going to win.”
Amir Khan: “The winner of this fight becomes the face of boxing. Who will win? In my opinion, Fury.”
Jai Opetaia: “I’m really looking forward to this fight. I think the result will be different this time.”
Oscar De La Hoya: “Usyk is a fighter who will stick to his plan and use what worked in the first fight. But I think Tyson will adjust his tactics, be more focused and prepared, and he will win. And by knockout.”
Chris Algieri: “The biggest surprise for me would be a one-sided fight. But I think it’s going to be a very close battle.”
Frank Warren: “I feel Tyson will win and stop Usyk.”
