UK boxer Tyson Fury will not be going ahead with his fight against rival heavyweight champ Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk on Dec. 23, Fury’s promoter Frank Warren said on Oct. 29 – a decision that came as absolutely no great surprise.
Tyson Fury compared himself to Novak Djokovic after going face-to-face with Francis Ngannou at their weigh-in on Friday. The towering Brit dismissed the punching threat posed by Ngannou, a former UFC star who will make his professional boxing debut Saturday at age 37. “It’s like a table tennis champion facing Djokovic in the Wimbledon final — totally different,” the WBC heavyweight champion said.
