Fury vs Usyk A Historic Showdown in Boxing

This weekend’s undisputed heavyweight clash is “D-Day” for both fighters, Tyson Fury has warned, as he renewed his verbal feud with his opponent.

The British boxer is set to face off against Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Saturday.

He had nothing but praise for Usyk’s boxing. However, before their estimated $240 million clash, he made a disparaging remark about the boxer. He referred to Usyk as “an ugly little rabbit dosser.”

The long-awaited fight will see unbeaten rivals face each other for the first time. For the first time since 1999, an undisputed champion will be crowned.

The fight was originally scheduled for February. But after Fury suffered a “freak” cut on his face, the event had to be pushed back.

The fight is approaching in a few days

The fight is approaching in a few days. Tensions have increased following an incident at a hotel during a media day this week. John Fury, father of Fury, was involved in a headbutt altercation with a member of Usyk’s entourage.

Speaking to News’s Jacquie Beltrao, Fury said that the fight was his and Usyk’s “D-Day” due to their age.

He said: “I think we’ll find out on Saturday whose destiny it is, mine or his.

We both cannot be undisputed in this era. We won’t be young enough to start over as undisputed in another era.

“So it’s D-Day for both fighters.”‘Another day at the office’

Fury stated that he was unbothered by the pressure

Despite the gravity of the event, Fury stated that he was unbothered by the pressure. He described it as “just another day in office.”

After achieving his childhood ambition of becoming the heavyweight champion of the world, Fury experienced continued success. Ever since then, he has been riding the wave of that achievement.

Fury said: “For me, it’s just another day in the office; I’m here to get paid… and go home.

It’s never been about belts for me. The importance of belts and such is based on someone else’s opinion.

For me, it’s about getting my money. I go home and walk the dog, and I do the school run. I just want to be left alone.

“I’m not interested in going into movies and having a successful career after boxing.”

However, he had few choice words for his opponent, Usyk, despite describing him as a “good fighter” and “accomplished boxer”.

“I’ve never said Usyk isn’t a good boxer, I’ve called him an ugly little rabbit dosser. That’s what I’ve called him. I never said his boxing was bad,” Fury told Sky News.

However, Fury admitted that his days of fighting in the UK were likely behind him. This was due to lengthy delays, he claimed. In his home country, he claimed, there were delays in getting a bout organized and off the ground.

Despite Fury’s strong words, Usyk has claimed he isn’t being drawn on anything said this week.

“I’m doing good; I’m happy, and I’m hungry. I don’t care how Tyson will be this week. I’m ready,” he said.

He continued: “For me, 18 is important; what Tyson does in press conferences doesn’t matter.”
