Tyson Fury believes he delivered his best performance in the past five years, as did Oleksandr Usyk, ahead of their rematch this December live on DAZN.
The Briton will go toe-to-toe with his rival once again as he chases the unified heavyweight championship atop the bill at Riyadh Season's Reignited event.

Fury suffered a first career loss when he faced Usyk in May, losing a tight battle by split decision that saw both men give their all in a blockbuster meeting.
Speaking ahead of his return to Saudi Arabia at Riyadh's Kingdom Arena, Fury revealed he rewatched the bout immediately after it took place, and ranks it among his best ever.
"I watched it back on the plane," he said. "I always watch the fights on the way back. I’d give myself the best performance I’ve probably done in the last five years, probably more.
"I thought I boxed unbelievable. I can’t help getting caught – it's my own fault – but I thought I did very good. I thought Usyk did good as well.
"That’s the best I’ve ever seen Usyk box, and I think that’s one of my best performances in the past five to six years.
"I’ve seen reports that Tyson’s on the decline or whatever, but I’m not showing it on the performance if I am."
Fury has drawn plaudits for many of his performances over the years, including his trilogy bout with Deontay Wilder and famed win over Wladimir Klitschko.
Any victory over Usyk later this year would likely require him to dig deep for another superlative turn in the ring, with the Ukrainian still unbeaten across his professional career.
