and go to war again tonight with the Gypsy King knowing it is a bout that will define his career. Fury suffered the first defeat of his 36-fight career in Saudi Arabia in May and is now out for revenge.
Usyk, 37, became the first undisputed heavyweight boxing champion in 25 years and the first of the four-belt era courtesy of his split decision victory in Riyadh.
A menacing Fury has this week promised to provide his unbeaten Ukrainian opponent with some “serious hurt” and “a lot of damage” as he bids to get those belts back.
The Brit weighed in with a massive weight advantage yesterday, tipping the scales at 281 pounds to Usyk’s 226 – making for a 55-pound difference.
It is the largest the 36-year-old has ever been and he’s hoping to make the most of his extra power to put Usyk to the canvas and out for the count.
