Tyson Fury failed again last Saturday night, losing to three-belt heavyweight champion Alexander Usyk on the Turki Alarasheh card in Riyadh. Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs)'s recent defeat has raised questions about whether his fight with Deontay Wilder has diminished the best parts of him, leaving Usyk ( 23-0, 14 KOs) defeated the fragile shell of Usyk (23-0, 14 KOs) with a score of 12-1.
Fury fans are hoping he can use his massive 55-pound gargoyle weight and 6-inch height advantage to overpower the smaller Usyk. The Gypsy King's team believes he can do the same thing to Usyk he did against Wilder in their second fight in 2020.
Tyson came up with the idea of adding some weight from his first fight weight of 262 and trying to use his size to pound Usyk like he did yesterday against Deontay at 1,764 Do that.
Losses caused by age and wealth
Fury, 36, can't do that because he's no longer as agile and dynamic as he was four years ago, when he destroyed Deontay in four rounds. Age, weight gain, an ill-conceived game plan and vast wealth have taken everything out of Fury. Therefore, he has nothing left to defend against Usyk.
Beating Fury's version of Wilder would be too much for Usyk, but he's not that fighter anymore. The Witch's age, weight and wealth make him an easy target for talented unified heavyweight champion Usyk.
Usyk Fury 2 Boxing Statistics
- Tyson Fury connected 144 times out of 509, 28%
- Oleksandr Usyk made 179 of 423 shots, with a hit rate of 42%
The boxing numbers clearly show that Usyk is the clear winner. After the fight, Fury put on a childish look, complaining about the score and saying he should have won by three rounds. He doesn't even try to be merciful about his failure or take the high road and show some class. I just wonder what Turki Alalashikh was thinking when he watched what a bad sport “Gypsy Kings” was.
Holyfield's support
