Tyson Fury makes a vow before his rematch against Oleksandr Usyk

Tyson Fury vows to be "more focused" during his unified heavyweight championship bout with Oleksandr Usyk on December 21 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The 36-year-old boxer taunted the Ukrainian several times during the first half of their May bout, which Usyk won by split decision.

The highlight of the fight came in the 9th round, when Usyk landed 14 unanswered punches that resulted in a knockdown and took a 10-8 scorecard difference.


Fury was ahead on all three cards going into round eight and believes he deserved the decision after 12 rounds as well. He said he's rewatched the fight "hundreds of times," but he also knows the fight was pretty close.

"I always thought I was winning it, but I'm not the judge, am I?" Fury declared. "I haven't made any changes and that's the truth. The only changes will be on the night of the fight where I will be more focused and play less palace in the ring."

"I did a lot of stunts, a lot of scrambles — more than I've ever done before, actually — against my toughest opponent," Fury added. /Telegraph/
