Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury came face-to-face again for the first time
since their all-action fight in May this year, with London's Guildhall
staging the opening press conference ahead of the pair’s blockbuster
‘Reignited’ heavyweight title rematch on December 21, as part of Riyadh

to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion this century.

With
the rematch now set and the WBA, WBC and WBO titles on the line, the
two colossal heavyweight fighters came together again in London’s famous

seeks to defend his titles and preserve an undefeated professional
record (22-0) against Fury (34-1-1), looking to become a three-time
heavyweight champion.

Oleksandr Usyk said: “I approach the
upcoming rematch with love and gratitude. I am thankful to the Lord for
my strength and guidance I’ve received. I appreciate Tyson Fury for the
challenge, and I thank His Excellency for organizing the fight. To my
resilient people, I am grateful for the opportunity to represent

will go down in history. Thank you to Riyadh Season and His Excellency
for continuing to make the biggest fights possible and I cannot wait for
21st December."
