The Mike Tyson–Jake Paul fight may be grabbing headlines for the moment. However, as far as boxing purists and diehards are concerned, real anticipation is building for the December 21 rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury. Seven months after their epic duel at Riyadh’s Kingdom Arena, the two heavyweights will face off again for the unified championship.

Tyson Fury lost the last match by a split decision—a result he didn’t anticipate. Hence, he would like to set the records straight. Given the gravity of the task ahead, by and large, ‘The Gypsy King’ has mostly stayed out of the spotlight, focusing instead on rigorous preparation. With barely a month left for the fight, Fury and his team have camped on the scenic Mediterranean island of Malta. As he called out his fans, a string of comments flew, most of which wished him nothing but the best.

Tyson Fury: Far from the hustle and bustle

“The Gypsy King is back. Training camp in Malta LET’S GO 🥊,” said Tyson Fury in his Instagram post. Appearing relaxed and smiling, the former WBC heavyweight champion shared that he has been having a fantastic time at the training camp. With a spirited Maltese phrase that resonated with his motivation, he exclaimed, “Ejja ħa mmoru!” which means, ‘Come on, let’s go’, in English.

According to a Malta-based digital media channel, Tyson Fury was speaking from Tigné Point. Heavyweight prospect Moses Ituma and WBC bridgerweight champion Kevin Lerena also seem to have joined him at the training camp.

The Brit’s latest revelation follows an early dispatch that suggested that he had yet to start his training. Roughly a month ago, reports shared excerpts from an interview where he reportedly said, “I haven’t started training yet. I won’t go into camp for a good while. I think I’ve got 13 weeks today until my fight. So, I’ll probably start training in about six weeks for it.”

Here’s to your success, champ!

Fans were absolutely thrilled as Tyson Fury shared the update about his training camp. Let’s check what some of them had to say. Fury’s heavy-set appearance charged up this fan, who felt that he might go for an early stoppage against Oleksandr Usyk in the rematch. They said, “Tyson looks like he’s coming in heavy in this fight that tells me he will look to get him outta there early.”

The next one urged the former heavyweight champion to secure all the belts held by Usyk: “Win the rematch, Big Man, and bring all the belts home.” The following user told Fury to increase the frequency of his uppercuts. During their first match, this move blunted Usyk’s attack. “More uppercuts for Usyk to eat; they worked a treat last time,” the user said.

Tyson Fury’s confidence boosted the following fan’s morale as well. They felt that the Mancunian may wind up the rematch pretty early. This is what the fan said: “Yeah, this camp is going to be tip-top. 👏 I see Tyson winning within 8 rounds.” However, another set of fans took a jibe at ‘The Gypsy King’ with one of them hurling Oleksandr Usyk’s chilling warning to Tyson Fury: “Don’t be afraid, I will NOT leave you alone. 😂.

Given the last fight with Usyk was so close, many diehard fans of Fury expect him to turn the tables in December. However, the stakes are slightly different now. The May 18 ‘Ring of Fire’ duel had the much-coveted undisputed title on the line. As it eventually turned out, Oleksandr Usyk became the division’s first undisputed title holder in 25 years. But a few weeks later, he vacated his IBF belt, thus leaving him with a unified championship.
