Anger vs. Usyk Trilogy: Contracted if Tyson wins the rematch

Promoter Frank Warren says a trilogy bout between Tyson Fury and unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk has been contracted, as long as “The Gypsy King” is victorious on Saturday night in their rematch in Saudi Arabia.

Risking a huge fight

If Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) wins on Saturday, fans would rather see him step up and face Anthony Joshua or Daniel Dubois rather than go straight into a trilogy fight with Usyk. Their third fight could always happen later after Tyson fights 35-year-old AJ, who at this point looks pretty shaky after Dubois knocked him out in five rounds.

Given Joshua’s poor career, it would be a mistake for Fury to go into a trilogy bout with Usyk. If Joshua gets beaten again while Tyson is booked to fight Oleksandr again, it will take a lot of interest from the boxing public to watch Fury vs. Joshua.

All time great?

Warren says if Fury, 36, defeats Usyk, it will make him one of them Greats of all time. This is a bit of an exaggeration because the Gyspy King will still lack career wins over quality fighters who were still young when he defeated them.

Fury wins career best

• Vladimir Klitschko
• Deontay Wilder
• Dillian Whyte
• Derek Chisora

You’d have to be very naive to think that Fury’s best career wins make him one of boxing’s all-time greats. Even if he beats the 37-year-old Usyk on Saturday night, his resume would still be too weak to place him among boxing’s greats, certainly at number one. It would be a joke, and no one would take it seriously.

At this point, Fury’s No. 1 win of his career is a 12-round victory over 39-year-old Wladimir Klitschko. If you followed the Wlad fighter, you would know that he was Faded fighter By the time Fury fought him he was 27 years old.

Try to imagine where Fury will be physically at 39 years old and fighting one of the best. You wouldn’t be able to argue he was at his best, and you’d have to discredit any victory by a younger fighter over Fury’s old shell. For this reason, it is impossible to include Fury among the all-time boxing greats, because his resume is so weak.

Triple knots

Promoter Frank Warren said: “He is because he was contracted, and whatever happens will be the case if Tyson wins, provided no one retires.” Boxing news About the signing of a trilogy match between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.

“A lot of journalists after the last fight… most of them said that Usyk is now the best heavyweight of his generation and that he deserves to be up there with Ali, Lewis, Marciano and all those guys who are back there. Time.

If Tyson defeats him [Usyk]Then that becomes Tyson, and I think Tyson is there anyway. The fact that he is a two-time world champion [title wins over Wladimir Klitschko and Deontay Wilder]And the fact that he won his titles on the road in the other person’s or adopted country [Germany for fight against 39-year-old Wladimir]. that it [Fury] there. He’s a great, great fighter. He’s been through this, he’s a better fighter.
