Comments Thread For: Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury Will Rematch on December 21

The fight was very close. You can easily make the argument that at one point, Fury was up. There were some swing rounds that fans of either man probably gave to their guy. But the 9th decided it all. Tough to win when you give up a 10-8 round in such a closely contested match. I picked Fury in this meeting; Usyk proved me wrong. I’m going with Tyson again in the rematch. If I’m right this time, we could be looking at an epic trilogy. Fingers crossed.

Nah don't need triology. Whoever wins rematch is the best. But if Fury wins rematch, but don't want a 3rd fight, and wants to be considered best of era. Fury needs to fight josh ASAP

99 respnces to something that might happen in December and i doubt if it will actually happen on that date just due to circumstances that show up during fight prep's but sill boxing has got the interest of boxing for these two guys and that is still a good thing...................and if you really want to jack people up start planning a solid card stealing undercard for the fans that would really be a present for the future.

If Fury wins the rematch, there will almost certainly be a third fight. Amongst other things, the money will be insane.

No need to argue it - he was, on all cards

Was he? I was unaware of that.

Lol, great minds are in the same gutter as they say. I feel just as you do. In a close fight it should be huge to give up a 10-8 round. A lot of rounds were very hard to score. I also think Tyson wins the next one.

An epic trilogy would do for the heavyweight division what water does for a thirsty man in the dessert.

Will furys labia have healed by then?

No probably not. I mean I understand he thinks he won, but he should have maintained that opinion for a later date.

A lot can go wrong in 7 months, especially with Fury involved. Is the IBF really going to allow Usyk to hold the title until then?

Not just losing, and not even just losing his 0, he even said post fight that he could not have done any better, clearly disappointed to realise that Usyk is just simply better than him. I think the mental or motivational aspect may be what goes wrong in the next 7 months, especially with him unfortunately being vulnerable to unstable psychological health in the past. Or maybe he'll go full KingCry haha.

As for the IBF, I presume that if enough money is waved at them by 'his excellency' then everything will work out just fine.....

i'll believe there wil be a rematch when i see it as nothing is guaranteed with fury until he steps into the ring.

There might be. But it wouldnt need to be ASAP. Fury would fight josh first for sure. Maybe if Fury beats Josh, he wont feel the need for a 3rd fight with Usyk. But then again fury might feel he needs to get 2 wins over Usyk, i dont really know how furys mind works.
