Tyson Fury vs Usyk

 

When Tyson Fury steps into the ring against Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday, he’s aiming to establish himself as the undisputed best heavyweight in the world.

This bout presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, with potentially immense rewards on the line. Regardless of the outcome, Fury stands to gain substantial wealth from his prize money. However, if he emerges victorious, the victory will cement his legacy as one of the all-time greats in the sport of boxing.

 

As the countdown to the highly anticipated undisputed championship clash commenced at the beginning of fight week in Riyadh, Tyson Fury was solemnly reminded of the inherent dangers of his chosen profession. Tyson Fury vs Usyk

 

“God rest his soul,” Fury said solemnly. “Entering this sport, you understand the risks involved. It’s a dangerous profession, where you’re essentially getting paid to face danger.”

Fury recognizes the harsh reality of boxing: “You can get your brains knocked out. We’re not in there to tickle each other. We’re there to inflict damage on each other by punching each other to the head and body, and unfortunately, things like this happen now and again.”  Tyson Fury vs Usyk

As an intelligent fighter, Fury is well aware of the risks involved in his sport. He believes that acceptance of these risks is a fundamental aspect of being a boxer. Tyson Fury vs Usyk

“It is what it is. We all know what we’re getting into. It’s a bit like being somebody who jumps out of a plane parachute jumping. Now and again, their parachute doesn’t open, they hit the floor, but it doesn’t stop everyone from parachute jumping. It happens,” he said.

 

“It’s a good job I live for today and don’t think about the future,” he explained. “There’s no future. There is no tomorrow. I know all the risks. I’ve known it my whole life. If it’s my time, it’s God’s will and I’ll die. And if not, then I’ll live. You can’t tempt fate. I can’t decide what happens in the future, and I can’t worry about it either.” Tyson Fury vs Usyk

 

“Apollo said it to Rocky. There is no tomorrow. In my faith and my belief there is no tomorrow. Jesus said I’ll come back like a thief in the night, no time, date or hour, so be prepared, live for today because tomorrow ain’t promised. There have been a few people that I’ve known who went to bed and died the next day, didn’t wake up. So every day is a blessing, and I take that and enjoy every day.”

 

Fury has had a long career, including a hiatus after defeating Wladimir Klitschko, yet retirement isn’t on his radar just yet. He’s contemplating up to 10 more fights, driven by his love for the sport.

“I believe every time you go in a ring you leave with less than you had when you went in there the first time. It takes a little bit more out of you, bit by bit. But it’s a good job I live for today and don’t think about the future,” he remarked.

 

Reflecting on his earlier years, Fury admitted, “I was probably better [before]. I was younger, in my early 20s, now I’m in my mid-30s. I had the fountain of youth, now I have wisdom instead.”

Acknowledging the passage of time, he added, “My youth has evaded me and my experience has to take over. I’m no spring chicken. If you look at the greats, when they were 35 they were said to be finished and over the hill. I’ve got to put youth to one side and use my experience and mentality.”

 

He continued optimistically, “When you’re enjoying something, you’re doing your thing, your routine, years pass by quite quickly, so I’m not too concerned about all the negative stuff of staying around and boxing. We’ll just play it by ear, I suppose. Like I said, if it’s 10 fights over the next five years, then I want them quick.” Tyson Fury vs Usyk

 

No bout, neither before nor after this Usyk contest, will hold as much significance as the undisputed championship fight.

For Fury, every step of his career has been leading up to this pivotal night. He maintains that he’s prepared for whatever it may entail.

“Undisputed. British champion. Each fight you take is a big fight,” he expressed. “I remember when I became novice ABA champion, under 10 fights, that was a big moment for me. Then when I became senior champion, that was a big moment. Then English, British, European, they’re all big moments, so I suppose this is a big moment also.”

 

Yet, he emphasizes, “It’s always been one fight at a time.”

Taking each challenge as it comes has brought Fury to this juncture. Not his final bout, but a significant one nonetheless. This fight is the ultimate test, the one that determines whether Tyson Fury truly is what he’s always claimed to be – the best big man on the planet. It’s undoubtedly a momentous occasion.  Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk
