Oleksandr Usyk will meet Tyson Fury in a rematch on December 21 in Saudi Arabia. This will be their second fight after Usyk's victory in May 2024. Bookmakers favor the Ukrainian.
Bookmaker odds and chances of winning
Currently, Oleksandr Usyk is the favorite with odds around 1.70, while Tyson Fury's chances of winning are around 2.20. These odds reflect confidence in the Ukrainian, his speed, and previous experience. However, analysts also note that Fury could better prepare for the rematch and possibly surprise Usyk with his physical advantage and sudden knockout.
Fight prediction
Analysts expect the rematch to be even more intense than the first fight. Fury needs to change his tactics after the defeat, while Usyk will aim to defend his titles and leave Fury without any chances.
Confrontation and previous fights
Usyk defeated Fury in the previous fight, becoming the first to overcome the Briton. Usyk mercilessly defeated other major boxers, such as Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois. Fury has also proven himself in fights against Deontay Wilder and Derek Chisora. This meeting symbolizes the struggle for the title of absolute world champion, which Usyk successfully defended in the first fight.
This fight is important for both boxers: for Usyk, it is an opportunity to cement his status as a legend, and for Fury, it is a chance for a rematch and a return to the titles.
