Tyson Fury is preparing for a comeback after suffering his first professional loss to Oleksandr Usyk. The Ukrainian fighter claimed a unanimous decision victory, becoming the first undisputed heavyweight champion since 1999. Fury, who put his WBC title on the line against Usyk’s IBF, WBA, and WBO belts, was knocked down in the ninth round, which proved crucial in the fight.

Usyk’s victory marks a historic achievement as he joins an elite club of fighters who have held all four major belts in both the cruiserweight and heavyweight divisions.

Jai Opetaia, the current cruiserweight champion, shared his thoughts on what Fury could do differently in the rematch. Opetaia emphasized the need for a more aggressive approach, stating that Fury needs to be more active and assertive in the ring.

Fury has exercised his rematch clause, and the second fight is scheduled for December 21. Opetaia, who was providing southpaw sparring for Fury, has indicated his willingness to help Fury prepare again if needed.

Turki Alalshikh, who is organizing the event, has promised a ‘bigger and better’ undercard for the rematch. Opetaia’s inclusion in the lineup is a possibility, adding excitement to the event and providing Fury with the high-level preparation he needs to reclaim his titles.

Boxing fans eagerly await the rematch, which could redefine the landscape of the heavyweight division.
