Fury vs Usyk 2: Date, UK time, undercard, records, and how to follow heavyweight boxing fight
Like the first match, Usyk vs Fury 2 was a close contest.
Usyk, 37, holds all the heavyweight and lightweight belts.
The Ukrainian golden boy is undefeated in 22 fights with 14 knockouts and showed every inch of his ability in his last fight.
Usyk’s best attributes remain his boxing brains and excellent movement. The victory over Fury was the best of his career, but Usyk also defeated Anthony Joshua, Daniel Dubois and Tony Bellew.
Fury, 36, has a huge wingspan and height advantage, with 6 inches of separation between the two towering heavyweights.
Smart people might suggest that Fury takes better advantage of his seven-inch wingspan in the rematch.
The loss to Usyk was the first time in Fury’s 16-year career. His record became 34 wins, 1 loss and 1 draw.
Fury holds all the heavyweight titles, although not at the same time. His best wins are over Deontay Wilder, Wladimir Klitschko and Dillian Whyte.
With both heavyweights entering their 40s, clocked mileage may play a big role in the rematch.
Usyk is younger, at least in the professional game, and has fought in 14 fewer fights than Fury’s 36.
In addition, Fury has boxed 242 rounds, while Usyk has only 189 rounds.
