At the press conference in London, 36-year-old Fury spoke about what will be key to his victory. He assured that his focus will be on staying concentrated and fighting smarter to secure the win. “I don’t have much to change from the fight that Usyk won in May. A little more focus and I’ll win,” the Brit declared. The boxer, who suffered his first professional loss on May 18 in Riyadh, is determined to regain his status in the boxing world.
Tyson Fury emphasized that he will not make drastic changes to his strategy.
He plans to rely on his offensive style, focusing on hitting, moving, and staying in control of the fight. Fury stated that he will go forward, hitting and moving without retreating. Fury mentioned that he aims to knock out Oleksandr Usyk in the ninth round, with an eight-count. He believes his combinations of jabs and body uppercuts will be key to breaking down the Ukrainian champion.
The fight, which will be the main event on a high-profile card, promises to be one of the most anticipated of the year. Tyson Fury, known by his nickname “Gypsy King,” is eagerly awaiting the chance to redeem himself in the ring, promising a better version of himself.
With his charismatic presence, Fury appeared confident in front of the media, wearing a cap with his famous nickname.
