On October 23 in London, UK, the first press conference was held for the rematch between WBC, WBO, WBA, and The Ring heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk and former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.
During the press conference, the host asked if the boxers had any messages for each other.
– Tyson, do you have any messages for Oleksandr?
– No, replied Fury.
– Oleksandr, the last word is yours, champion. What’s your message to Tyson Fury?
– Yes, Usyk said.
Later, Usyk shared a photo on Instagram with the caption:
"I will never leave you alone. Never," tagging Tyson.
The rematch is scheduled for December 21 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In their first bout, Usyk won by unanimous decision.
