The rematch between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, originally scheduled for December 21st, was highly anticipated following their historic first encounter. Fury’s manager, Spencer Brown, disclosed the reason for postponing this bout from its initial date in October.

Their initial match took place earlier this month after several delays, and a Fury injury had caused further postponements. It was a tense bout with momentum swings, including one instance where Usyk knocked down Fury, leaving him staggering across the ring before the referee initiated a count.

Usyk, the undisputed former heavyweight king, ultimately secured victory by a split decision, adding the WBC title to his existing WBA, IBF, and WBO belts, making him the undisputed champion in the heavyweight division for the first time in nearly 25 years. The last person to achieve this feat was Lennox Lewis, although the legend held only three titles.
