bloomshorts Tyson Fury’s Bold Claim After Usyk’s Victory
Tyson Fury has boldly stated that Oleksandr Usyk ‘knows’ he is the only fighter capable of defeating him, in the wake of Usyk’s impressive fifth-round knockout of Daniel Dubois. This victory at Wembley not only reclaimed the IBF title for Usyk but also solidified his legacy as one of boxing’s elite.
Usyk’s Rise to Undisputed Champion
Undefeated at 38, Usyk added the IBF belt to his collection after a split decision win over Fury last May, though he later vacated the title. His recent unanimous decision victory over Fury in December, which led to Fury’s brief retirement, has only added fuel to the fire for a potential trilogy fight.
Fury’s Comeback and Challenge
Despite retiring after his loss to Usyk, Fury has signaled his return to the ring, confident in his ability to overcome Usyk. Fury’s social media outbursts and claims of victory in their previous encounters have set the stage for an electrifying third match, should it come to fruition.
Promoter’s Perspective
Frank Warren, Fury’s promoter, acknowledges the allure of a third Usyk fight but points to WBO mandatory Joseph Parker as the next contender. The boxing community is left wondering if the much-anticipated trilogy will happen or if Parker will step into the spotlight.
