Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk faced off for 12 minutes in Saudi Arabia, leading to a security intervention amid rising tensions.
Riyadh: So, you won’t believe what just happened between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk. They had this crazy 12-minute face-off that got super intense. Security had to step in because things were heating up.
It all started with them refusing to break eye contact during a photo op, which usually lasts just a few seconds. But not this time! Fury was throwing some serious verbal punches, saying he’s ready to put Usyk in the “hurt locker” during their rematch this Saturday.
Fury’s been acting a lot more serious lately, ditching the usual jokes. He’s all about business now, promising a lot of pain in the ring. He even said, “The talking has been done,” which is a big shift from their previous banter-filled encounters.
Usyk, on the other hand, is keeping his cool but made it clear he’s not backing down. He told Fury, “Don’t be afraid. I will not leave you alone.” It’s clear both fighters are ready to go all out this time.
Fury’s camp has changed a bit too. His dad, Fury Sr., won’t be in his corner this time, which is a big deal. There was some drama last time, and it seems they’re trying to avoid that this time around.
Fury’s been training hard, even skipping out on talking to his wife for three months just to focus on this fight. His promoter, Frank Warren, is confident Fury will win by knockout, saying this fight is going to be something special. So, mark your calendars for Saturday!
