Tyson Fury channels 2PAC ahead of Oleksandr Usyk rematch
In a barrage of messages, Tyson Fury boasts with 2PAC song ahead of a rematch against Oleksandr Usyk.
Even though he was fully dressed, the Englishman weighed 281 pounds (127.4 kg), which is 19 pounds more than he did when he lost to the Ukrainian in their May unification fight.
At Riyadh's Wonder Garden amusement park, Usyk was prepared against the winter cold and weighed 226 pounds, 2.5 pounds more than he had seven months prior.
Fury's increased weight indicates that his goal for Saturday is to physically overwhelm the smaller Usyk.
As he exited the platform, he gave the interviewer just one word which is war.
The victory is much needed for the 36-year-old "Gypsy King" to avenge his only career loss to the elusive, mobile Usyk in Riyadh in May.
Fury was spared by the bell following a standing eight count in the ninth round, but the first unification fight of the four-belt era ended in a close split-decision.
Usyk gave up the IBF championship to concentrate on the rematch rather than go on mandatory opponent Daniel Dubois, meaning that only three titles—IBO, WBC, and WBO—are up for grabs.
After winning Olympic gold and becoming the undisputed cruiserweight champion before moving up to heavyweight, the Ukrainian has already accumulated one of the greatest boxing careers.
