Tyson Fury resembled the bearded fictional character Fagin from the 1968 Oliver Twist movie during today’s final press conference for his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk this Saturday. He was the spitting image of Fagin.
Cranky and Snarling: Fury’s Mood
Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) did not look healthy with his appearance and came across as cranky, snarling, and mean-spirited during his trash-talking face-to-face with the unified heavyweight champion Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs).
Usyk will probably need a knockout to win because Turki Alalshikh has already told the media that he wants Fury to win, so there will be a trilogy. I wonder what Usyk thinks about that? It’s in Usyk’s best interest if he loses Saturday’s fight because he’ll make more money. It would have been better if Turki had kept quiet about him wanting Fury to win because he’s the money man.
Anthony Joshua won’t fight him after Oleksandr’s treatment of him in their two fights. The only guy Usyk can fight to make huge dough is Fury. Usyk doesn’t want to lose, but financially, it pays if he’s beaten on Saturday.
Fury’s Hellish Comeback
“All the talking is done. I’m here to hurt him and put on a good show,” said Tyson Fury to iFL TV after today’s final press conference in Riyadh for his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk. “Not much. A lot of s***. Nothing really matters until you’re there on the night,” said Fury when asked what was said during his face-off with Usyk today.
Fury looks hellish coming back from his loss to Usyk last May, and he doesn’t appear in good enough shape to push a fast pace to win. He’s not going to be victorious fighting the way he did last time, resting on the ropes like a big bird, eating shots from Usyk. He’s got to stay in the center of the ring and fight, but he doesn’t like that he’s physically fit enough to do that.
