Saudi promoter Turki Alalshikh is planning to stage the rematch between heavyweights Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk on October twelfth or thirteenth in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The 2 unbeaten champions can be combating on Could 18th for the undisputed heavyweight championship on the Kingdom Enviornment in Ryadh.
Rematch Considerations
Given Fury’s damage issues, it is perhaps a bit of presumptuous on Alalshikh’s half to imagine that he’ll have the ability to make it again into the ring by October for a rematch with Usyk.
Fury is an outdated 35 and has quite a lot of miles on the odometer from the punishment he absorbed in his three fights with Deontay Wilder.
These weren’t straightforward freeway miles for Fury. It’s a tall order to get Fury again within the ring for the rematch with Usyk by October.
Fury-Usyk has a rematch clause for his or her Could 18th combat, so the loser is anticipated to activate it to pressure a second combat. This may very well be unhealthy for the boxing public if the combat on Could 18th is a blowout or boring, and the possibilities are it may very well be a type of two issues.
The worst factor that might occur is for Usyk to win each fights with Fury, which might put the Saudis in a state of affairs of deciding whether or not to have Tyson combat Anthony Joshua off of consecutive losses or go together with Oleksandr as his opponent.
Fury vs. Joshua: A Potential Blockbuster
Excellency Turki Alalshikh instructed ESPN that he’s thinking about making a combat between Fury and former two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua for March of subsequent 12 months. There’s no phrase whether or not that combat could be depending on one or each of these fighters having gained their earlier matches.
If Fury loses one or each of his two fights in opposition to Usyk, it wouldn’t be as fascinating for followers to see him be the one who faces Joshua in March 2025. Nevertheless, given the UK fan curiosity in seeing Fury and Joshua combat, I suppose it doesn’t matter if Tyson or AJ are coming off a loss.
Joshua doesn’t have an opponent but, however he may combat Filip Hrgovic for the IBF title as soon as it’s stripped from the winner of the Fury vs. Usyk combat.
