The upcoming rematch between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk has been drawing a lot of attention, with tensions rising between the two camps. Fury, who suffered his first professional loss to Usyk in May, has been compared to Russian President Vladimir Putin by Usyk's manager, Egis Klimas.
As the rematch date in December approaches, the war of words between the two fighters has intensified. Fury took to Instagram to express his frustration with Usyk, claiming that the Ukrainian made a mistake by not finishing him off in their first fight. He also took shots at Usyk's team, including Klimas, who he called out specifically.
In response, Usyk kept things light-hearted, jokingly complimenting Fury on social media. However, Klimas was not as friendly in his response. He compared Fury's behavior to that of Putin, stating that Fury's attitude of "if you're not with me, then you're against me" was similar to the Russian president's approach.
With just over two months until the rematch, Fury has yet to enter training camp. This has raised some concerns, as he faced calls to remove his father John Fury from his corner for this fight. However, Fury has made it clear that he intends to keep the same team and approach as he seeks revenge against Usyk.
In an interview with Undisputed, Fury shared his thoughts on the first fight, admitting that he thought he had won. He also addressed the controversy surrounding rounds eight, nine, and ten, which were scored differently by the judges. Despite the close call, Fury remains confident in his abilities and his team as he prepares for the highly-anticipated rematch.
