Fury’s flabby physique: problems for Usik’s revenge?

Tyson Fury considers Oleksandr Usyk a threat for their rematch, which takes place in 29 days on December 21, noting that he hit him with everything but the kitchen sink in the ninth round of their first fight and he failed to knock him out. .

Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) says he took the best shots from unified heavyweight champion Usyk on May 18 and “smiled” at him. Now he’s back with a vengeance with a vengeance on December 21st in their headliner at DAZN PPV at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Fury is out of shape

Heavyweight Kevin Lerena posted a photo of himself and a bearded Fury posing shirtless outside the ring. Interestingly, 36-year-old Fury pulled his swim trunks up to his chest, apparently trying to hide his flabby stomach. Channel X fans criticized Fury’s fitness after DAZN posted a photo of him and trainer Sugarhill Steward on social media on Thursday.

Fury’s stomach showed signs of someone carrying a lot of extra weight that shouldn’t be there, given the time left before his rematch with Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs). He appears to be as much as 40 pounds overweight.

If that weight were dropped by Dec. 21, he would be a new man, perhaps able to move around the ring like he did in 2015, when he was still fit and beat former heavyweight king Wladimir Klitschko.

Judging by the way Fury looks now, he will have problems with the slick, very athletic Usyk, who will take him to school and knock him out this time. This time there will be no referee to save Fury at the eight count.

“I know he doesn’t have the power because if he puts a man on his feet, hits him with ten more penalties and doesn’t even drop him, how is he going to hurt me?” Tyson Fury said in an interview with Queensberry Promotions on Xdenying that Oleksandr Usyk has a chance to knock him out on December 21 in a rematch in Riyadh.

“He had his chances. I took his best shots, his five shots, and smiled. As Tupac said, “Now he’ll feel the wrath of the threat.”

Millionaire Mindset

I watched the Fury-Usyk fight last May and did not see Fury smiling in the ninth or subsequent rounds. In the ninth round he looked dazed, standing on his feet and looking up at the sky. After the fight, Fury sounded like a man out of his mind, talking nonsense about Happy New Year.

20 unanswered blows to the head that Usyk landed on Fury, after which he muttered, thinking he had done enough to win, and came up with all sorts of conspiracy nonsense. It was sad, but understandable given the punishment he took in the ninth round.

The only conclusion that can be drawn is that Fury is not taking the fight seriously because he is very rich. It’s hard for people to understand, but for someone with a net worth of $140 million like Fury, who is set to make another $100 million for his rematch with Usyk, the worries aren’t the same as for the average person.
