Immediately after the defeat early this morning, Tyson Fury announced that he was ready to activate the rematch clause and revealed the time of his return match with Usyk..
Usyk had to skip the post-match press conference to go to the hospital to have his jaw injury examined, but Tyson Fury was still there and the British boxer also announced his plan to activate the rematch clause in this fight of the century. .
Before the world heavyweight boxing classic unification match this morning, the Tyson Fury vs Usyk contract allowed the losing puncher to activate the mandatory rematch clause. In fact, the media has also predicted that the Fury-Usyk 2 match will take place around the fourth quarter of this year, specifically mid-October. And looking from Fury’s statement at the post-match press conference early this morning, it seems that the above prediction is correct.
“I will return to my family and will face Usyk again in October. We will return to the ring, now rest!”, Fury declared. “I believe I won this match, so I won’t sit down and cry and complain about failure or make excuses. We will compete again next October.”
For his part, although he could not attend the press conference, when speaking in the ring immediately after the match, Usyk also expressed his desire to be ready to fight Tyson Fury again. “Yes, of course. I’m ready for the rematch,” Usyk declared.
Thus, when the Fury-Usyk 2 match takes place later this year, Fury will turn 36 years old, while Usyk previously had his 37th birthday in January this year.
Besides, another notable change is likely related to the division of competition remuneration rates. In the classic belt unification match early this morning, Tyson Fury received up to 70% of his compensation, equivalent to about 81.2 million pounds (more than 100 million dollars) while Usyk only modestly received 30%, approximately 35 million. board.
