Andy Ruiz Makes Emphatic Tyson Fury-Oleksandr Usyk Prediction: “He Has More Skills”

By
Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.

Andy Ruiz has weighed in with his prediction for the recently signed undisputed heavyweight world title clash between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.

Though no one is writing off Usyk’s chances in the fight, most see Fury as a clear favourite, mainly due to the height and weight advantage he will be afforded on the night.

And Ruiz admitted to Fight Hub TV that though he has little doubt Fury will win, it’s down to having more skill and ability, rather than him simply being a larger man.

He also unsurprisingly added that he believes he is the man to dethrone ‘The Gypsy King.’

“In my eyes, I think Tyson Fury can win. He has more skills, he has more ability and I don’t think Usyk knows how to pressure and throw those combinations to smother him.”

“But if I fight him, I’ll be able to do that!”

Ruiz had been linked to a fight with Fury earlier this year, though the Brit and his representatives claimed he priced himself out of the negotiation process.

A similar accusation was labelled at ‘The Destroyer’ from Deontay Wilder’s team, though he has refuted this and claimed it was Wilder who was wanting too much money.

As for Fury vs Usyk, it will take place in Saudi Arabia, though there is not expected to be a date announced until after the former’s novelty bout with MMA star Francis Ngannou later this month.

It will be the first undisputed heavyweight world title fight since Lennox Lewis vs Evander Holyfield in 1999, and is a legacy defining occasion for both Fury and Usyk.

Tyson Fury intimidates KSI prior to brother Tommy Fury beating him

By
Tyson Fury

Heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury looked intimidating as he stood watch over KSI getting his hands wrapped before taking on Tommy Fury on Saturday at AO Arena in Manchester, a controversial majority decision win for the Gypsy King‘s brother.

Tyson, 35, is a lot bigger than KSI, whose real name is Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji but simply goes by JJ, and has much more fighting experience. Nothing crazy happened during the brief encounter despite plenty of palpable tension.

Tommy, 24, sending brother Tyson into KSI’s dressing room as his team representative ahead of their fight was clearly a tactic.

KSI, 30, and many other agree that the majority decision in favor of Tommy was a “robbery” and claimed he will appeal the result.

A false narrative going around on social media, however, is that Tyson looked shocked after the decision was announced.

Tyson was in fact celebrating the result ringside, but a pair of pictures of him looking surprised are circulating online claiming to be his reaction.

Tommy did enough to get the victory. What had fans confused is that he got a point deducted, which many expected to be the difference.

Tyson is currently preparing to face former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou on October 28 in a boxing match.

Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou

The Gypsy King has teased a showdown with the MMA legend since he knocked out Dillian Whyte to retain his WBC belt in April 2022.

The clash has drawn a fair amount of criticism from fans who wanted Fury to take on Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight world titles.

But negotiations for that fight broke down as did a potential Battle of Britain meeting with heavyweight rival Anthony Joshua.

Fury vs Ngannou: What has been said?

Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren, has revealed why there will be no world title belts on the line for this fight.

“There won’t be any belts on the line because the guy is not ranked, but we’re not selling it as that, it’s an event,” Warren said on Drive.

“We’re not saying he’s in the ratings and he won’t be in the ratings, it is what it is. It’s a crossover event between two guys from two different disciplines.”

When asked whether the fight would count on Fury’s professional boxing record, Warren said: “It’s a different type of event, I don’t know, you’ll have to ask the governing bodies.”

Anthony Joshua accuses Tyson Fury of “ducking him” after agreeing fight

By
Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua has accused domestic rival Tyson Fury of “ducking him” after signing to fight fellow heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk.

Fury and Usyk could fight for the undisputed world heavyweight title in Saudi Arabia as soon as December 23 but ‘The Gypsy King’ will first have to get past former UFC champion Francis Ngannou on October 28. The pair meet in a crossover fight that will go on both of their professional records and Ngannou has vowed to ruin any chance of the undisputed world title fight taking place at the end of the year.

NEWS:-Deontay Wilder predicts one clear winner for Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk

Joshua reacted to Fury’s upcoming fights by telling DAZN: “I wish I could balance this, cause he’s ducking. He’s definitely a duck. Whether he’s ducking me, not right now, but he’s definitely a duck. That’s facts, like you can’t deny he’s a duck. So if we’re gonna pull out the animal cards I’m pulling out a duck with Fury.”
Ngannou has claimed he will be forced to fight Fury again in the shocking event that he pulls off the upset, whilst there is also reportedly a two-way rematch clause for his undisputed fight against Usyk. Fury recently labelled Joshua as a “bum-dosser” and mocked his professional defeats to Usyk and Andy Ruiz Jr.

“I don’t really care what he says. He’s a bum in my opinion. He’s just one big bum-dosser that has been knocked out three times. He’s been knocked out twice [once] and had three losses. He can’t even compare in my league any more. It’s not even a fight I am thinking about any more. I’m not even interested,” Fury told Mail Online.

Anthony Joshua

“That bubble has been burst. His virginity has been taken away so it’s not interesting for me any more. He’s been spanked by Usyk twice and been beaten by a fat man. So it’s not in my interest to beat him.” Joshua picked up his first knockout win in over two years by stopping Robert Helenius in August and has since been linked to a fight against Deontay Wilder.

Joshua vs Wilder was being planned to take place on the same event as Fury vs Usyk, but the heavyweight showdown has been delayed yet again. Matchroom Boxing boss Eddie Hearn has guaranteed the mega-fight will take place in 2024 and thinks Joshua could also return to the ring in December to stay active.

‘Ridiculed’ – Tyson Fury makes Manchester United comparison ahead of Francis Ngannou fight

By
tyson fury

Manchester United fan Tyson Fury has admitted he faces potential ridicule in his upcoming fight with Francis Ngannou.

The WBC heavyweight champion will be stepping into the ring later this month (October 28) for a crossover bout that few could have predicted earlier in the year. Former UFC champion Ngannou, who holds a world record for his punching power, will make his boxing debut in an exhibition bout with the ‘Gypsy King’.

It is set to be a busy few months for Fury, who recently agreed to face Oleksandr Usyk in the first undisputed heavyweight championship fight since 1999. The fight will take place in Saudi Arabia as part of Riyadh season, which runs until the end of March, though reports suggest the pair could face off on December 23 or sometime in January.

First up for Fury is navigating the threat posed by Ngannaou, The fight emerged after previous talks with Usyk fell through and the WBC champion has compared the possibility of defeat with United being humiliated by Liverpool.

“The biggest risk of all is, fighting a MMA fighter and I’m the world heavyweight champion,” Fury told TNT Sport’S Rio Ferdinand. “So what happens if he beats me? Ridiculed. It would be like getting beat by Liverpool for Manchester United, 7-0, wouldn’t it? How do you come back from that?”

Many boxing fans and pundits have criticised Fury’s decision to fight Ngannou, especially prior to the announcement of his undisputed clash with Usyk. However, Fury insists that he is preparing for Ngannou in the same way that he has for any of the other fighters he has faced in his boxing career, so far.

“All of these opponents I face, they are all risky fights, or are all big men – like anyone over 14 stone is a big man. All of these guys are big lumps and when I fight them the risk is always the same, they’ve always got a puncher’s chance,” Fury explained. “But I never leave a stone unturned. That’s one thing I do.

“I always do everything I can in my power to be successful. The way I look at it is, if this guy is going to beat me then fair play to him I will shake his hand, he must be a good fighter because I’m no easy man to beat as I’ve proven over the years. So if I can bump into somebody that can beat me, I would say ‘fantastic, fair play to you, well done,’ take them for a beer and that’s it.”
