Former WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is expecting to bring a storm for unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk when the pair meet in their highly-anticipated rematch.
Taking place on December 21 in Riyadh, live on DAZN Pay-Per-View, Usyk and Fury will run it back after a thrilling encounter in May.
The first fight was a close affair with Usyk and Fury struggling to find an opening to gain a foothold in the contest. However, an Usyk left hand in the ninth round gave the Ukrainian the upper hand.
After the punch landed, Usyk had Fury on the retreat with the British fighter deemed to have been knocked down by the referee. This exchange gave Usyk the edge he needed to get the win on two of the judges' scorecards and become the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the four-belt era.
Fury has since labelled this particular punch from Usyk as a 'punch from the gods', and during a DAZN FACE-OFF ahead of the rematch, Fury gave some unlikely praise.
"He could have punched me with that punch a million times and it may not have had any effect, but he punched me and it had effect, and that was great for him," Fury said.
Usyk, as is often the case, had a simple response when looking back on that game-changing shot.
"It was perfect."
While Fury initially praised Usyk for his efforts, he was then quick to criticise the 37-year-old and his inability to finish the fight off when he had the chance.
"But you had your little chance to knock me out and you didn’t do it b—h, could you," Fury continued.
"Hit me with 10 shots in a row and you couldn’t do it. You could not put me down on Bambi legs, you hit me with 10 shots. No canvas touched, you’re f—d in the rematch.
"Like Tupac, you hit me with your best shots and couldn’t do f—k all. You know what’s coming for you, I’m going to f—k you up."
