By Chris Udochukwu Tyson Fury has been forced to postpone his unification fight with Oleksandr Usyk after the British heavyweight suffered a “freak cut” above his eye during a sparring session in Riyadh, Queensberry Promotions announced Friday.

WBA, IBF, WBO titles: I’ll destroy both of you in one night – Tyson slams Joshua, Usyk

August 21, 2022August 21, 2022 - by Lovina - Leave a Comment

Tyson Fury has slammed Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk after their rematch on Saturday night. Fury believes that with what he saw from both men last night, he could actually ‘annihilate’ them in one night. Fury, also known as Gypsy King, is adamant that he sees nothing to fear from both boxers. Joshua seemed to be cruising to victory after a 9th round performance by the Briton but Usyk responded masterfully, taking charge of the match from tenth and final two rounds, which saw him on his way to victory. One of the judges gave it to Joshua with 115-113, but the other two judges awarded Usyk 115-113 and 116-112, respectively. He was crowned the victor by split decision and Joshua was obviously angered by the decision, throwing the Usyk’s belts out of the ring while storming out. The Nigerian-British fighter, however, returned to the ring where he delivered an emotional speech, hailing his Ukrainian opponent and telling some personal life stories. One of the judges gave it to Joshua with 115-113, but the other two judges awarded Usyk 115-113 …

Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder were prevented from a face-off as insults and expletives filled the air at an ill-tempered final press conference on Wednesday for their heavyweight world title fight. Fury puts his World Boxing Council heavyweight belt on the line in Las Vegas on Saturday when he meets Wilder for the third time, 20 months after knocking out the American in their second fight. Wednesday’s press conference — broadcast live on US television — saw profanities and sparks fly as Fury taunted Wilder over the circumstances of his defeat to the self-styled “Gypsy King” last year. As the barbs escalated, the host of the press conference sought to bring both fighters together for a traditional face-to-face stare-down — only for Fury’s promoter Bob Arum to veto the confrontation. Fury and Wilder — who clashed at a press conference ahead of their first fight in Los Angeles in 2018 — were hustled off the stage shortly afterwards. It brought an end to a fractious encounter at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, which turned ugly when Fury confronted Wilder over …
