Fury Bulks Up For Rematch

We don’t know if the added weight will assist Fury on Saturday evening or hinder him in opposition to the lighter, sooner, and extra athletic Usyk. We noticed how the Twenties heavyweight Primo Carnera failed to make use of his large 280+ lb dimension when combating smaller fighters.

Might this be the identical scenario for Fury on Saturday evening? Greater isn’t higher when combating skills like Usyk, and it may imply that Fury will make a louder noise when he hits the canvas.

“There’s going to be no surprises. Usyk goes to be good. He’s good each time,” mentioned Eddie Hearn to DAZN Boxing following Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk weighing in right now for his or her rematch.

“I believe lots of this depends upon what Tyson Fury brings to the combat. Final time, it was a detailed combat. Persons are speaking prefer it was a whitewash final time. It was a really aggressive combat. Tyson goes to should do one thing extraordinary tomorrow evening.

“He’s able to it. We’ve seen it prior to now. Can he produce it tomorrow evening? We’ll see. I might like to see him do it. It’s good for boxing. The primary combat was among the best heavyweight fights I’ve ever seen. I’m so pleased we get to see the rematch. Fury is effectively in it, but it surely’s very tough to choose in opposition to the greatness of Oleksandr Usyk on the similar time,” mentioned Hearn.
