Tyson Fury’s Bold Declaration: “I Wish It Was Tonight!” – Heavyweight Clash with Oleksandr Usyk Sends Shockwaves through Boxing World!

Three weeks before his fight against Oleksandr Usyk, Tyson Fury released training video, setting up a highly anticipated heavyweight bout.

On May 18, Fury and Usyk will eventually square off in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for the title of undisputed heavyweight world champion.

The bout was originally scheduled for February, but it was postponed after Fury cut himself during practice. The Gypsy King looked laser-focused in the gym in the Saturday morning Instagram video, so maybe the wait was beneficial.

In the video, Fury can be seen shadow boxing within the ring while keeping his gaze fixated on the unidentified victim.

The WBC champion practices his head movement and jab while dancing around the ring, appearing light on his feet.

Many expect Fury to be on the front foot against Usyk, who is widely regarded as one of the best pure boxers in the sport.

The short clip indicated that this is likely to be the case, as Fury used his footwork to move forward, but his consistent jab suggested he will aim to work his way into range methodically rather than recklessly lunging in.

The video ended with Fury shaking his arms out and hyping himself up as he looked in good spirits with fight night fast approaching.

Alongside the footage, a caption read: ‘3 weeks today guys, wish it was tonight!’

Fury is eager to get back into the ring after a disappointing showing in his last fight against Francis Ngannou.

The 35-year-old Brit was expected to ease to victory against the former UFC champion who was making his professional boxing debut.

Fury will be hoping for a much-improved display in the Middle East after being knocked down by Francis Ngannou last time out

But Ngannou knocked Fury down in the third round, and was unfortunate in the eyes of some observers to end up on the wrong side of a split decision.

Ngannou then faced Anthony Joshua last month, but suffered a devastating loss as he was knocked out cold in the second round.

Having watched his fellow Brit make far easier work of Ngannou than he did, Fury will want to make amends next month, but he has his work cut out against the undefeated Usyk.

Usyk holds wins over Joshua (twice), Daniel Dubois, Derek Chisora and Tony Bellew in his career, and will be hoping to beat a fifth British opponent to cement his place as the best heavyweight on the planet.
