Tyson Fury has the support of his promoter Frank Warren in his intention to knock out world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk in the upcoming rematch between the two tonight in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, BTA reported
"It's going to be a war. That's exactly what it's going to be," Warren said of Fury's upcoming fight with Usyk, who holds the WBA, WBC and WBO belts after winning the first match by split decision.
"Tyson came to reclaim those titles. That's what he's here for, that's what he's sacrificed a lot for and that's what I believe will happen," the promoter added, quoted by the DPA news agency.
"You can analyze it however you want. The fact is, we're going to find out who's the best. And you know they're both coming to fight. It's going to be exciting. When the first bell rings, they're going to fight and you're going to see something extraordinary, extraordinary special. "I think it will end in Tyson's favor," Frank Warren added.
The two boxers' pre-fight weigh-in was much more relaxed than 24 hours earlier, when Fury had to be pulled after insulting Usyk.
When Usyk was asked how he felt during their last fight, he replied: "Nothing".
Meanwhile, the controversy over Tyson Fury's beard has yet to be resolved, with Oleksandr Usyk's camp reportedly objecting to its length, having initially thought it was not causing any problems.
