The first fight, held on May 18, 2024, was a pivotal moment in Fury’s career, marking his first professional defeat. Fury’s record now stands at 34-1-1, while Usyk remains undefeated at 22-0-0, solidifying his place at the top of the heavyweight division.
Following their initial bout, questions were raised about the effectiveness of Fury’s corner during the fight, with some speculating whether changes would be made ahead of the rematch. Despite the scrutiny, Fury recently confirmed at a press conference that he has no plans to overhaul his team.
Andy Lee, a key member of Fury’s corner, addressed the concerns, promising clearer communication this time around to ensure there’s no repeat of the confusion that may have affected their strategy in May.
As the fight draws closer, Fury has been sharing his excitement on social media. In a recent Instagram story, he expressed his eagerness for the rematch, signaling his determination to reclaim his dominance in the ring.
“Four weeks to go to the biggest fight of the year. The biggest fighting in boxing. Me and Usyk. And I’m coming in hot. I’M COMING IN HOT! GET UP, CAN’T WAIT. 21st December… THE BELTS ARE GONNA BE MINE AGAIN! Get up,” Fury exclaimed passionately.
