Mike Tyson amazed by prediction for Usyk - Fury rematch.
Boxing legend Mike Tyson made a prediction regarding the rematch fight between Ukrainian world champion Oleksandr Usyk and British boxer Tyson Fury.
According to Tyson, he is backing Fury in this fight, despite considering Usyk the best heavyweight in the world. He explained his decision by saying that he is a fan of Fury and his father gave him his name.
“While Usyk is the best heavyweight in the world. But I am backing Fury. Why? Because I am his fan. Because his father gave him my name. I won’t leave him now,” said Mike Tyson.
The Usyk - Fury rematch will take place on December 21 in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.
We remind you that Usyk became the first in boxing history to hold all four titles in the heavyweight division after defeating Fury on May 18. However, he relinquished the IBF belt, which allowed him to become the undisputed champion.
It is also worth mentioning that Mike Tyson himself plans to return to the ring at 58 years old for a bout against boxer Jake Paul.
