Veteran Derek Chisora says he doesn’t believe former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury can win his rematch against unified champion Oleksandr Usyk on December 21.
Chisora feels that with the way the 36-year-old Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) is training for the Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) fight, he will “NOT” be victorious. He says sparring partners are “in awe” of “Gypsy King” Fury and won’t push him. In contrast, Usyk is working hard, starting early and finishing early.
Usyk’s “Hitman” mode
Chisora points out that Usyk knows he can hurt Fury in their last fight on May 18 when he had roller skates in the ninth round, and he’s going to come after him with his power play. Usyk’s “Hitman” theme for the rematch suggests that he will come to destroy Fury and knock him out on December 21 in their fight at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh.
What Chisora doesn’t say is the obvious. Fury is one of the ultra-rich now, sweet, and he does not have the serious hunger that he had in his career before he became rich. Fury is one of the richest boxers on the planet, with an estimated net worth of $140 million. $200 million+ with his rematch against Usyk.
He may not be as motivated as he once was; therefore, he is still fat with a month to go before the fight, carrying his trunks high to try to cover his middle-aged bulge. Furia is old and fat and is no longer willing to suffer and deny herself the comfort of being one of the nouveau riche. Fury is like one of those guys who hits the oil on his land. Money forever changes that person for the worse.
Chisora forecast
“Do I believe that Tyson can beat Oleksandr? I look at the way he is going in sparring camp. I personally do not believe that with the sparring partners he has now that they push him to be a threat. I am amazed by Tyson,” said Derek Chisora to Secondsout about his doubts about Tyson Fury’s ability to win the rematch with Oleksandr Usyk on December 21.
“They pull their fists when sparring, These are the things that I see. What I saw that Oleksandr does in a completely different way. I think that Oleksandr is much more like starting early and ending early. He knows that he he can hurt now, so he’s going to try to hurt him. He goes on to say that he won’t leave him alone.
“I would like Tyson to win, but right now, those odds don’t seem great,” Chisora said.
