Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will renew hostilities on December 21, live on DAZN Pay-Per-View, in one of the year’s biggest sporting events.
The charismatic pair are already well acquainted after sharing 12 memorable rounds back in May, and they’re currently getting ready to do it all over again.
In their first meeting, Usyk overcame a tough start to rally brilliantly in the second half including a memorable round nine where he made Fury take a standing count.
Usyk’s aggressive approach in the original fight surprised many as some believed he would prefer to box and set traps against the much bigger man.
Despite enduring his first loss against the magical Ukrainian, Fury has handled defeat well and has jumped straight back into camp with the team that led him earlier this year.

Some within the fight community believe that Fury was receiving too many instructions, but no changes have occurred when it comes to altering his team.
Tony Bellew, who lost to Usyk in 2018, predicted that Usyk would come out on top in the first bout, but who is the former cruiserweight world champion backing the second time around?
“I can’t look past Usyk. He outboxes him this time and probably ends up winning on points,” said Bellew when speaking to DAZN News.
“The first fight surprised me a little bit as Usyk went on the front foot from the first bell and he was actually fighting like he was the bigger man. I think that might've shocked Fury a little bit.
“Now Usyk knows he can hurt Fury and also be fine up close, he’ll be more confident here, but I still think he’ll go on the outside and box him on the backfoot.
“Fury has no choice but to be more aggressive this time around, but those tactics can he play into Usyk’s hands, and I think he’ll go 2-0 against Fury and do it unanimously this time.”
