Usyk (22-0) became the first undisputed heavyweight champion since 1999 when he beat Fury in May. The Ukrainian took down the Brit in round nine and won via split decision. An undisputed champion in two divisions, Usyk has secured his legacy at 37.

Fury (34-1-1) already secured his legacy after beating Wladimir Klitschko in 2015 to hold gold and taking out Deontay Wilder twice for the WBC heavyweight title. The 36-year-old suffered the first career loss and looks to end 2024 by getting a win back.

The build to a fight can bring tension. A fighter could sacrifice whatever it takes not to be distracted. For Fury, he sacrificed family time to prepare for the rematch.

“I’ll end his career, this will be, you’ll never hear about Oleksandr Usyk again after this,” Fury told Queensberry Promotions via Bloody Elbow. “It’s been a long camp, hasn’t seen my wife and kids in 3 months. I haven’t spoken to [my wife] at all in 3 months. Not one word, sacrificed a lot. But it’ll all be worth it. 100%.”
