Warren Promises Improved Usyk-Fury Rematch.

Posted 4 months ago

Tyson Fury's promoter, Frank Warren, is optimistic that the rematch between undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk and Fury will surpass their first encounter.

Warren, aged 72, confirmed that a rematch of the recent thrilling bout in Saudi Arabia will be announced soon.

Usyk's split decision victory over Briton Fury made him the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the four-belt era.

"There will definitely be a rematch," Warren stated. "I believe it will be even better than the first fight. Both fighters are familiar with each other now, having shared the ring, and they'll use that experience to gain an advantage in the rematch."

Usyk, from Ukraine and also a former undisputed champion at cruiserweight, handed Fury his first professional loss and added the WBC belt to his collection of WBA, WBO, and IBF titles.

The anticipated rematch is slated for October, but it's unlikely that all four belts will be at stake as the IBF plans to strip Usyk for not facing its mandatory challenger next.

Warren emphasized that Fury's motivation for the rematch isn't solely about the belts; it's about seeking revenge and reclaiming his status in the heavyweight division.
