Tyson Fury is gearing up for his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk, the undisputed heavyweight champion, scheduled for December 21 in Saudi Arabia.
After suffering the first defeat of his professional career last month in a split decision loss to Usyk, Fury is back in the gym and preparing diligently for redemption.
In a recent Instagram post, Fury shared a video of himself training on a heavy bag, expressing his eagerness to bounce back from his loss.
He emphasized that while he has achieved many milestones in boxing, making a comeback from a defeat is a new challenge that he relishes.
“I’ve done everything in boxing but I ain’t come back from a loss,” Fury stated. “I relish it, the chance to come back and redeem myself. December 21st is all me, undisputed here we come.”
The first fight between Fury and Usyk saw Fury dominating early on but getting caught and knocked down by Usyk in the ninth round.
Although Fury recovered, the knockdown influenced the judges’ decision, resulting in a narrow victory for Usyk.

The immediate rematch was swiftly arranged for December, although there are uncertainties surrounding whether the fight will be for the undisputed title.
The IBF is currently deliberating on a request from Usyk to retain his title without facing their mandatory challenger immediately.
Before the Fury fight, the IBF had indicated they would strip Usyk of the title if he did not meet their mandatory obligations.
Usyk, known for his technical prowess and undefeated run in the heavyweight division, became the first undisputed champion in the four-belt era and the first since Lennox Lewis accomplished the feat nearly 25 years ago.
His clash with Fury in December promises to be a highly anticipated event in the world of boxing, with Fury aiming to reclaim his status at the pinnacle of the heavyweight division.
