Tyson Fury is determined to make Oleksandr Usyk experience his power in their much-anticipated rematch on Saturday. The two fighters will face off again in Riyadh, following their heavyweight title bout in May, which Usyk won by split decision. This victory made Usyk the first undisputed heavyweight champion in the four-belt era after he overcame Fury's early attacks and sent him into the ropes in the ninth round.

Fury is eager to avenge his first professional defeat and hopes to set up a third encounter. Reflecting on the previous fight, Fury said, "He threw his best shots. He had 10 shots on target, all on target, never dropped me. So, if he couldn't drop me when I was on Bambi legs, God be with him this time." He believes Usyk failed to finish him off despite landing significant punches.

The Gypsy King is confident about what needs to change for the upcoming fight. He stated that less showboating and more concentration are key to securing a win. "A little bit less fooling and a little bit more focus, laser focus and I should do the job," he explained. Fury feels prepared and ready to perform at his best.

After their last match, there were reports of Usyk suffering facial injuries. Fury commented on this by saying he didn't feel defeated during or after watching the fight again. "I didn't feel like I lost the fight then, I didn't feel like I lost the fight after watching it back," he noted, acknowledging that close fights can be subjective.

Fury also mentioned how judges might have been influenced by events towards the end of their previous bout. "With it [the count] being towards the end of the fight, I suppose the judges must have saw that and banked on it a little bit more than they would have done if it didn't happen," he remarked.

The rematch promises excitement as both boxers arrive for their showdown in Riyadh during the Riyadh Season event.

The anticipation builds as fans eagerly await whether Fury can turn things around against Usyk this time. Both fighters are expected to bring their best strategies into the ring for what promises to be another thrilling contest.
