British boxer Tyson Fury said that Ukrainian Alexander Usik will have to fight him in December. Fury quotes: Boxing Social.
“Usik is a sausage. I expect us to fight in December, that’s what I’ve been told and I see no reason not to believe it. Usyk will have to fight me in December, he has no choice. Otherwise, he will break the contract he signed and a lawsuit will be filed against him. He really has no choice,” Fury said.
At the end of August, Usyk defeated Briton Daniel Dubois. The fight ended with an early victory for the Ukrainian: in the ninth round, the Ukrainian knocked out his opponent – his opponent did not have time to reach the referee’s count. At the same time, in the fifth round, Usik missed a strong blow to the groin area, which was declared illegal (below the belt level), which led to a long break, which the Ukrainian boxer received. He regained consciousness by lying on the ground for a few minutes. At the same time, the referee did not deduct any points from the Englishman. Promoter Frank Warren spoke of the need for a rematch.
The fight took place for the world titles WBA-Super, WBO, IBF, IBO (Usik’s second defense), The Ring (Usik’s first defense) heavyweight titles.
