Boxing enthusiasts are urging heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk to retire Tyson Fury “for the sake of boxing.”
After a thrilling exchange in May, the two titans are set to clash again on December 21 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Usyk handed Fury his first professional defeat in their initial bout, besting ‘The Gypsy King’ via split decision. In the early rounds of this year’s fight, the Ukrainian dominated and seemed poised to take a comfortable lead.
However, Fury made a comeback midway through the match, successfully landing blows on his opponent. The turning point came in the ninth round when Usyk landed a powerful left hand, causing Fury to falter.

Although the Ukrainian couldn’t end the fight then, he managed to control the rest of the heavyweight showdown and ultimately won on points. This time, Usyk is aiming for a more commanding performance, and many fans are already rooting for him to triumph once more and put an end to the rivalry.
With just a few weeks left until the eagerly anticipated rematch, Usyk flaunted his impressive physique on social media. The boxing community was also buzzing with excitement after seeing the 36-year-old in peak condition during training sessions.
Fans are so impressed that some are pleading for the Ukrainian heavyweight champion to force a retirement on the two-time world titleholder. One fan pleaded, “Please retire Fury for good for the sake of boxing.” Another demanded, “DESTROY him. Close the chapter of that clown, forever.”
A third shared their support with, “Erase him champ!” While another advised, “Take him back to school, Oleksandr. Don’t give him a minute, all over him. Good luck,” and yet another admirer noted, “Damn… the neck on Usyk. That’s why he’s got such a great chin.”
In the lead-up to their highly anticipated bout, Fury has made an explicit vow to “f—” Usyk up. During a heated ‘FACE OFF’ on DAZN’s YouTube channel, Usyk was quizzed about his decisive ninth-round punch, saying, “It was perfect. Tyson was keeping good.”
However, Fury interrupted, taunting, “But, you had your little chance to knock me out, didn’t you? And you couldn’t do it, b—-, could ya? Hit me with ten shots in a row and you couldn’t do it.
“You couldn’t even put me down after being on Bambi legs. You hit me ten shots, ten clean shots on the chin… no canvas touch. You’re f—– in the rematch. Like Tupac said, you hit me with your best shots and couldn’t do f— all. You know what’s coming for you. I’m going to f— you up, b—-.”
