With the date and place set, the Fury-Usyk rematch previews begin

Tyson Fury's fight poster for his bout with Oleksandr Usyk has been posted and the date and venue are now known.

The pair first fought for the undisputed heavyweight title in May 2024. The Ukrainian came away with the win after putting on a masterful boxing performance in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The pair are set to go head-to-head again on December 21, 2024. The self-proclaimed "Gypsy King" will be looking to avenge his defeat at the hands of Usyk - with the Brit having not tasted defeat as a professional prior to this clash.

The build-up to their winter showdown has already begun, and in keeping with boxing tradition, the fight poster was unveiled on Wednesday night.

Fury suffered a large cut just above his eye in the first bout. But recently played down any talk that it could be an issue in their second encounter.

"Look, it was only 12 weeks before I had a 16-stitch cut in my left eye and that had to heal," he told TNT Sports Boxing.

"It probably took seven or eight weeks for the cut to heal, then another six or seven weeks of training, but there's always the risk of it opening up (in camp) and losing your big batter."

"I am ready for action. Listen, I don't need a 12-week boot camp. I've been boxing all my life. I'm ready to go tonight, tomorrow, next weekend. Sunday, Monday, Wednesday. It doesn't really matter. I can get in the ring overweight and go 15 rounds. I'm a natural at it," he added. /Telegraph/
