The highly anticipated rematch is set for December 21 in Saudi Arabia. Reflecting on the initial bout, Fury expressed his conviction that he should have won. And attributed his loss to his own overconfidence.
“I’ve got to get him out of there, because I’m not going to get a decision, which is unfortunate, because it’s hard enough to win a fight just by winning it, never mind knowing you’ve got to knock someone out but I’m confident and I’m looking forward to the challenge,” Fury stated in an interview with Furosity on YouTube.
Tyson Fury: I had too much fun, it was too easy.
“It was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be, the Usyk fight, a lot easier. People were saying he’s a hard man to hit, but I was lighting him up with three and four punch combinations, laughing at him. My problem in that fight was probably that I had too much fun, it was too easy.”
“At times it was too easy – it was like I was in there with a local amateur boxer and I was enjoying it too much and messing around and I paid the ultimate price in round nine when I got a 10-8 round and got clipped and that’s what happens when you have too much fun. They’ve always told me: never mix your work with having fun.”
“And I’ve always given them the middle finger and now it’s come back to me. But still, I enjoyed it, it was all good. Get yourself well – I hear he’s got a broken jaw and eye socket, so get yourself well and I’ll see you in December for a Christmas extravaganza in Saudi Arabia.”
