🏆 Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury Prediction

Given the nature of the first fight between the pair, as soon as Oleksandr Usyk’s name was called out as the winner of the first fight the countdown was on until the two main men of the Heavyweight division squared off once again. The date has been set, December 21st in Riyadh, and if we get a similar contest to the first one, boxing fans all over the world will be incredibly happy. Usyk was the winner of the first fight and deservedly so.

The Ukrainian star’s overall ability, speed, range of punches and superior movement won over fans and the judges alike during the first fight to overcome Fury, who did have the champion in trouble during those middle rounds. Usyk again proved what a great fighter he is however, by wrestling back control of the fight when the going got tough and I would expect something similar on December 21st. I think Fury will worry Usyk, and a Fury win would surely set up a trilogy fight in 2025, but I think Usyk will once again have too much for the British fighter, and I think he will do the double over Fury and take his record to 23-0.

⚡Oleksandr Usyk: Fight Form & Stats

Usyk is both an Olympic Gold medallist and a two weight Undisputed champion of the world. He first achieved Undisputed status at Cruiserweight, before doing it at Heavyweight with his win over Fury. Usyk turned professional in 2013 after a star-studded amateur career and won the WBO Cruiserweight Championship in his tenth fight in September 2016. He then added the WBC Cruiserweight belt in January 2018, before becoming Undisputed in July 2018. He retained his Undisputed tag against Tony Bellew in November 2018 and then moved up to Heavyweight in October 2019.

Usyk became the unified Heavyweight World Champion when he defeated Anthony Joshua in September 2021. That fight was just his third as a heavyweight, but he would defend the belts on two occasions, before becoming the Undisputed Heavyweight champion by beating Tyson Fury in May 2024. Overall, Usyk has a professional record of 22 fights and 22 wins, with 14 wins coming by way of KO.

He added the British and Commonwealth titles in July 2011 by beating Derek Chisora by Unanimous Decision. He would defeat Chisora once again in November 2014 to claim the European, WBO International and British Heavyweight titles before following this with the biggest win of his career up to that point when he beat Wladimir Klitschko for the Unified Heavyweight Championships in November 2015.

After a period away from the sport, Fury returned to the ring in June 2018, and by February 2020 he had won the WBC Heavyweight belt by beating Deontay Wilder by TKO in Las Vegas. He kept the belt three times against Wilder, Chisora and Dillian Whyte before losing it in his first fight with Usyk for the Undisputed Heavyweight Championships in May 2024. Overall, Fury has a professional record of 36 fights with 34 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.

💥 Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury: Road to the Rematch

As soon as the first fight between the pair was finished the clamour amongst fight fans for the rematch begun. Usyk beat Fury in the first fight to become the first Undisputed Heavyweight Champion since Lennox Lewis, but Fury disputed the victory, and the rematch was quickly organised for December 21st in Riyadh. Usyk had to relinquish the IBF belt, which Daniel Dubois later won, which means that the rematch will be for the WBO, WBC and IBO belts. The big question for boxing fans ahead of the Usyk vs Fury rematch is whether it will be a repeat victory for Oleksandr Usyk, or revenge for Tyson Fury after suffering his first professional loss against the champion back in May.

Usyk heads into the fight with an unblemished 22-0 record, while Fury has a 34-1-1 record. His only defeat coming against Usyk in their first fight.
