Tyson Fury looked subdued and subdued during today's final press conference for his rematch with three-belt heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk this Saturday, December 21, on Turki Alalshikh's Riyadh season card.
Low energy consumption
With his hat and expensive clothes, an exhausted-looking “Gyspy King” had almost nothing to say at the press conference. He showed no energy to drum up interest in the fight, reinforcing the belief boxing fans have in the former WBC heavyweight champion. Tyson looked like the image of a fighter who had already lost.
Fury (34-1-1, 24 KO) is doomed. Fury's bags under his eyes suggest he spent sleepless nights worrying about his revenge. He was only here physically today.
The last fight didn't go well for Fury, losing a 12-round split decision to Usyk on May 18, and it appears he hasn't focused on staying in shape over the past few months since. He looks like a fighter who lost weight quickly rather than slowly.
Fury didn't look engaged at the press conference, and you could tell he would have preferred to be back home at his luxury mansion in Morecambe, Lancashire. He looks like he knows he's going to lose, but he's going to go through the motions, show up Saturday night, give it a try, and then take that big shot again. A salary of $76 to $85.5 million After. In other words, Fury came for the money.
Many view Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) as a solid favorite to repeat with another victory and finish what he started last time, when he bounced Fury off the ropes after being clocked in the ninth round .
Usyk's confidence
“Do not be afraid; I won’t leave you alone,” Usyk said in his final words at the press conference. He felt he didn't need to come up with new lines. He may have said more after seeing Fury appear like a lifeless fish at the press conference; he probably felt like he didn't need to find something new and witty to say.
