Tyson Fury, it seems, remains adamant that he won the ‘Ring of Fire’ against Oleksandr Usyk. The duo met last month on May 18 at Riyadh’s Kingdom Arena for the heavyweight division’s undisputed title fight. The Ukrainian champion eventually emerged victorious, winning by a split decision. Following the loss, ‘The Gypsy King’ invoked the rematch clause. So the new undisputed champion and the former heavyweight champion will meet again on December 21. In a recent interview, the Mancunian poured his heart out, talking about how the fight went, where exactly things went wrong, and more. As it appears, the discussion on the podcast ‘Furocity’ has grabbed considerable attention since it came. It follows muted voices that have seemingly questioned his drive for the rematch.
