Wladimir Klitschko Supports Usyk in Highly Anticipated Rematch Against Fury
Wladimir Klitschko has publicly endorsed Oleksandr Usyk to emerge victorious against Tyson Fury in their rematch scheduled for this Saturday. This exciting bout marks another chapter in heavyweight boxing, bringing fans significant anticipation.
Boxing legend Klitschko, now 48, has hinted at a potential return to the ring as he eyes a world heavyweight title, adding intrigue to the upcoming fight. It’s worth noting that Fury was the one who initially defeated Klitschko in 2015, marking the start of his unified heavyweight champion reign.
While a rematch with Fury was initially discussed, Klitschko maintains he would never fight Usyk, emphasizing his respect for the fellow Ukrainian. “Oleksandr Usyk is going to keep me in retirement,” he stated firmly. Klitschko hasn’t fought since his 2017 loss to Anthony Joshua but assures fans he has kept himself in prime condition.
Reflecting on his relationship with Usyk, Klitschko recalled a conversation earlier this year where Usyk wished him well in his quest to become the oldest champion. Klitschko responded with encouragement for Usyk’s own journey, suggesting a deep mutual admiration.
“Klitschko believes Usyk will successfully defend his WBC, WBO, and WBA titles this weekend,” stating, “Oleksandr is going to repeat history… It’s all about strategy. It’s all about technique.”
The upcoming rematch is highly significant, as Usyk seeks to consolidate his status as the undisputed heavyweight champion following his split-decision victory over Fury earlier this year.
Fury, eager to avenge his only professional defeat, showed intense focus during a press conference where the fighters maintained a prolonged staredown, signaling the gravity of their rivalry.
Promoters are buzzing with predictions, leaning towards an early finish in the fight. With both fighters at the height of their careers, anticipation swells for this monumental clash at the Riyadh Season event, set to unfold at the Kingdom Arena.
