Tyson Fury blames being hurt in round nine of the first fight against Oleksandr Usyk on “Enoughness”.
The ‘Gypsy King’ Fury has aged and is having a hard time accepting that he is not the fighter he once was in 2015, the peak of his career when he defeated 39-year-old Wladimir Klitschko by close decision in Dusseldorf, Germany beat. .
It was Fury’s golden moment, smashing Wladimir and then celebrating the victory for the next 2 1/2 years, refusing to fight.
Anger makes excuses
This apology made by Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) is pretty typical of the former WBC heavyweight champion because he cannot admit that the superior fighter beat him.
The Fury-Usyk 2 rematch is 32 days away, on December 21 at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, and it’s a bad sign that Fury, 36, is still making excuses for his 12-round split loss to Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) ) on May 18.
Usyk hit Fury a lot during the fight, but that one left hand that he hurt him with was where he loaded up. He would eventually hurt Fury, but that happened in the ninth.
Fury’s striking resistance has disappeared since his third fight with Deontay Wilder, and the only reason he has avoided knockouts since then is the soft opposition his management has lined up for him, which sees him take on British craftsmen Dillian Whyte and Dereck Chisora and the newcomer Francis Ngannou interviewed.
“I sat with him and the optics of that round nine. “You almost got too comfortable by rounds six and seven,” and he said, “The word is complacency, Gareth.” To hear him say that, you know he’s going to make the adjustments,” said Gareth A. Davies talkSport Boxing about the excuse Tyson Fury gave him for being hurt in round nine of his fight against Oleksandr Usyk on May 18.
Until recently, Fury was still claiming that he should have won the first fight, which was so sad and pathetic it was beyond words. Fury was literally saved by the referee in round nine when he took one punch for being knocked out cold by Usyk, but he was still tweeting about being wronged.

The referee saved him with his standing eight count that came out of the blue and spoiled the fight’s outcome for fans who can put two and two together.
“You also know that he (Fury) had a pinched eye in that rescheduled fight. They will be more conditioned this time. That last third of the fight is really important against Oleksandr Usyk. Tyson Fury will go out on his shield. Maybe a little more aggressive earlier. Maybe going forward rather than fighting on the back foot for the first two or three rounds,” said Davies.
Usyk wants to KO Fury
The rematch on December 21 will tell all, showing whether Usyk’s previous victory was a fluke or a clear case of him being too talented for Fury.
This time, Usyk indicated that he was going to knock out Fury to avoid any chances of him or his fans complaining that they were robbed after the match, as we saw with the previous fight.
