Oleksandr Usyk outboxed Anthony Joshua again, this time in Jeddah Saudi Arabia, this past Saturday. Usyk did not stray too far from his look in the first fight - again going with white trunks and a Ukraine-themed ensemble -  while Joshua moved away from the white trunks that have been his staple for years to go with all black. Joshua also opted for Grant gloves in the rematch (he wore Rival in the first fight). Respect box.

Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk: History Beckons

WBC and Lineal champion Tyson "The Gypsy King" Fury and WBO/IBF/WBA unified champ Oleksandr Usyk will collide in a historic undisputed heavyweight showdown on Saturday, Feb. 17, at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

It was made official last week. WBC champion Tyson Fury will face Oleksandr Usyk, WBA, IBF and WBO champion, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on February 17 to crown the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis achieved that feat against Evander Holyfield in 1999.

Fury can become only the second man in history, after Muhammad Ali, to win three Ring Magazine heavyweight championship titles. Usyk can become only the second man, after Terence Crawford, to become a two-weight undisputed champion in the four-belt era. This is the first undisputed heavyweight showdown in 25 years. Genuine history that will prevail through the test of time awaits.

Two of the best heavyweights of this era that would generationally hold their own are the worthy foes that have come together to battle for the throne from the long-retired Lewis. This makes it one of the most significant heavyweight fights in history.

Fury vs. Usyk may lack the cultural importance of Jack Johnson vs. James J. Jeffries in 1910 or Joe Louis-Max Schmeling 2 in 1938. Still, it does mark the end of the longest period of frustration and confusion the division has ever seen.

Fights to determine the genuine No.1 heavyweight on the planet and brush aside any confusion are rare throughout history. Joe Frazier vs. Muhammad Ali in 1971, Mike Tyson vs. Michael Spinks in ’88, when Tyson steamrolled Spinks to become the lone leader for the first time since Ali’s time at the top a decade earlier, and Lewis vs. Holyfield in ’99 are the only such noteworthy fights in recent history.

The Klitschko brothers, Vitali and Wladimir, ruled the heavyweight division for a decade following Lewis’ retirement in 2004 but never unified to crown an undisputed champion, as they made a vow to their mother to never face one another in the ring. Genuine competition for the brothers was largely scarce as they dominated a quiet era.

For some time, with its peak year being 2018, Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder were the undefeated, hard-hitting champions who had the chance to throw down and crown an undisputed champion but didn’t. Fury came along and conclusively dethroned Wilder in a classic trilogy, and Usyk ended Joshua’s reign with back-to-back victories. Joshua and Wilder did not seize their chance, and these two men, Fury and Usyk, have now taken over as the rightful champions vying for supremacy.

Skill-wise, this is as good as it gets in the heavyweight division. You have Fury, the 6ft9in giant with an 85inch reach, defying logic with how he moves in the ring for such a big man, with great ring IQ, a brilliant jab, footwork, underrated power, and he knows how to utilize his physical advantages, over every opponent.

Through the majority of his career, Fury has proven to be a highly adaptable fighter, with the ability to use whatever game plan necessary to achieve victory against each opponent. Then you have Usyk, the greatest southpaw heavyweight champion ever, with the kind of fleet-footedness, movement, angles, and footwork that is unusual to see amongst heavyweights. With an educated jab, feints, agility, terrific conditioning, speed, and ring IQ, Usyk is one of the best pound-for-pounders in boxing today.

The mental aspect and psychology are another interesting element heading into this showdown. Against opponents Fury knew would be a significant challenge in the past, such as Wladimir Klitschko and Wilder, Fury’s pre-fight mind-games, his constant rants and antics, belittling them while portraying himself as utterly unhinged, worked to Fury’s advantage heading into their fights.

The problem for Fury is that Usyk appears completely unfazed by Fury’s attempted mind games, whether in press conferences or anywhere. Usyk has often been dismissive and laughed off Fury’s insult-filled statements.

Tyson "The Gypsy King" Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will collide for the undisputed heavyweight championship

With English not being Usyk’s first language, the language barrier works in favor of the Ukrainian. There is no real back-and-forth between the pair, a scenario in which Fury usually thrives, and Fury appears frustrated at his inability to engage in his usual antics.

In terms of mental toughness, amidst the tensions between Russia and Ukraine, Usyk traveled to Moscow and completely out-classed Russia’s Murat Gassiev to become the undisputed cruiserweight champion.

In London, despite all the fireworks and a pro-Joshua crowd in a frenzy as their superstar made his way to the ring, and then amidst very loud, widespread boo’s as the Ukraine anthem was sung, Usyk proceeded to comprehensively out-box Joshua in front of an estimated 67,000 fans at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and dethrone the unified champion, silencing the crowd.

Make no mistake, Fury beat two long-reigning champions, Wladimir Klitschko and Wilder, on away territory to win his titles and is also psychologically strong when it comes to boxing, but Usyk appears as mentally rigid as one gets.

Both men have all the physical attributes to be tremendous heavyweights. In a division that historically largely relied upon brute force and power for success, Fury and Usyk are genuinely great boxers who can also display the sweet science. However, there are also the in-ring intangibles to consider. They have both proven to possess the heart that points to greatness.

During his trilogy with Wilder, Fury was dropped four times, being hit by Wilder’s best punches that have rendered previous opponents unconscious on numerous occasions. Fury rose, pushed Wilder back, and pulled out the win. During this trilogy, Fury showed some of the best recuperative powers shown by a heavyweight since Ali and Larry Holmes.

In the rematch against Joshua, Usyk was dragged into deep waters in the ninth round as Joshua had his most successful spell over their shared 24 rounds, with Usyk scrambling around the ring. Usyk showed the heart, courage, class, and adaptability to not only survive but also up the tempo, produced his own best round of the fight in the tenth, and won the last three rounds.

There are unanswered questions heading into this fight, which makes this undisputed showdown all the more fascinating.

Is Fury still as fleet of foot as he used to be? Do his recent performances point to a man who is now simply past his best? Whether Fury can reproduce his best form or not, is the puzzle of the majestic Usyk one which Fury, like his compatriots in the past, cannot solve? Fury has undoubtedly never faced a proposition like Usyk.

Likewise, Usyk has never faced an opponent like Fury. Has Usyk finally met his match in the Land of the Giants, and will the sheer size and bulk of Fury simply be too much of an uphill task to overcome for the Ukrainian?

Neither man has ever lost a professional fight. Both have held every single sanctioning body title and Ring Magazine belt at some point in their careers. Now, they face off for all the marbles in a showdown that will define an era of boxing. For the first time since Lewis ruled at the turn of the century, we will be able to recognize one world champion in the heavyweight division. It does not get any bigger than this.

can't say i'm a huge fury fan. ambivalent tbh, but his shithousery is next level. the string of profanities and nonsense, which, in turn, transform to laugh-out-loud insults are phenomenal to listen to. love it.

Сторінка одного зі спортивних медіа Об'єднаного Королівства. Публікація про перемогу Олександра Усика.

Найбільш заплюсований коментар:

Уявіть сказати таке в обличчя людині, яка втратила через цю "фейкову" війну все, що мала. Повірити не можу, що навкруги стільки людей, позбавлених як не розуму, так емпатії. Мені вже й страшно виїзжати за кордон - уявлення таке, що українців скоро будуть ображати так само як і росіян. І це просто нонсенс.

Я вимушена багато часу проводити в соцмережах (і я їх вже проклинаю лише за те, що вони взагалі існують) і мені дуже боляче від розуміння того, що чим довше триває війна, тим більше чаша терезів схиляється не нашу користь. І ворог, і недруги, і просто далекі люди будуть і далі відбирати в українців їх заслуги в цій війні. Будуть ось так казати, що ніякої війни і не було, і ніякі українці не сміливі, що це все тільки завдяки допомозі наших партнерів; що це воювало НАТО, хто завгодно тільки б не визнавати факт нашої величі.

Закривавлена, Україна стала об'єктом брудних політичних кампаній. Наша майбутня перемога вписана у агітаційні програми одних, а наша неможлива поразка - у агітаційні програми інших. Мабуть, така ціна за всю допомогу, що ми отримуємо. Урок, який я вивчила ще в дитинстві: принизливо бути бідним.

p.s. так, начебто перші пости в блогах прийнято писати якось по-іншому, але я ніколи не вміла презентувати себе.
