A great sensation in boxing! There will be a Usyk-Fury rematch. The promoter announced the date

A week ago, Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk fought a great fight for the undisputed heavyweight championship. After twelve rounds, the Ukrainian boxer won by split decision on points. Due to the fact that the fight was even, many people immediately started talking about a rematch. And that’s what will happen, according to Fury’s co-promoter Bob Arum. – I know Tyson can’t wait for the rematch – said the legendary promoter.

Bob Arum is a true boxing legend . True, not in terms of ring achievements, but in terms of promotional achievements. Although he is already 92 years old, Arum is still present in the boxing world and amazes with his brilliant mind, even though he is no longer a teenager. In his career as a promoter, spanning over 60 years, he worked, among others: with the legendary Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler, Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao.

The head of the Top Rank group is the co-promoter of Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KO), who lost by split decision to Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KO) in Riyadh a week ago. At stake in their fight was the first undisputed heavyweight championship of the world in 24 years. Usyk won, even sending Fury down in the ninth round and taking the WBC , WBA, WBO and IBF belts.

Tyson Fury is waiting for a rematch with Oleksandr Usyk. Bob Arum has no doubts

The contract included a clause allowing each fighter to have a rematch. Tyson Fury decided to take advantage of this right away , as reported by Bob Arum. – I know Tyson can’t wait for the rematch. I think it will take place in November or December because it won’t be possible to organize it in October. They train all year round and returning to the gym straight away would not make sense for them, he said, quoted by Sky Sports. In his opinion, the second Usyk-Fury fight will take place at the end of November or in the first half of December.

I think the rematch will take place in Saudi Arabia. Organizing this fight elsewhere would be impossible for financial reasons. And the Saudis turned out to be wonderful hosts. I think they prepared the first fight wonderfully, added Arum.

Fury-Joshua? “Tyson wants this fight”

Looking at how close the fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk was, there is no doubt that their rematch is the hottest fight that can be organized in the heavyweight division. However, right next to it is Fury’s big fight with Anthony Joshua (28-3, 25 KO). After all, we are talking about two of the best British boxers in the royal weight category.

I talked to Tyson. He wants this fight. It has to happen because there is so much talk about it in the British Isles. I would be very surprised if it doesn’t happen in the first half of 2025 at Wembley, Arum said.
