Oleksandr Usyk on Rematch with Fury: "It Will Be a Continuation of Our First Fight"

WBA, WBC, WBO, and IBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) commented on former world champion Tyson Fury's (34-1-1, 24 KOs) claim that he will knock out the Ukrainian in their rematch.

"Brother, I don’t think about what Tyson says at all. He’s just talking. This won’t be a new fight—it will be a continuation of our first encounter. It won’t be the first round, but the 13th, 14th, or maybe even the 15th, 16th, or 17th. It’s all in God’s hands," Usyk said.

In May, Oleksandr Usyk won by split decision against Tyson Fury, becoming the first undisputed heavyweight champion (over 90.7 kg) in 25 years. The rematch is scheduled for December 21 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
