Usyk begins preparation for rematch with Fury

Unified world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk of Ukraine announced the start of his preparations for the upcoming rematch with British fighter Tyson Fury.

"We are heading to training camp. I learned a lot about him in the last fight. Many things I observed during the match—I didn't see them on television. We will prepare even better, and ***** willing, we will showcase our skills once again.

We will do everything in training camp to see the best version of Oleksandr Usyk. I find myself speaking about myself in the third person, right? I will do everything to be in top shape again," Usyk's words were quoted by the promotional company Ready To Fight.

The bout is scheduled to take place on December 21 in Riyadh.
