With Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury 2, just over a week away, a simulation has sent shockwaves through the boxing community.

While what happens in video games isn’t necessarily an accurate representation of what will occur in real life, the brutality of this Undisputed footage is definitely enough to get fans excited for the rematch.

In their first encounter, Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury delivered an incredible bout, with both men having their share of epic moments.

The Ukrainian started beautifully, bamboozling his rival with his tremendous footwork and shot selection. However, after downloading the data, ‘The Gypsy King’ worked his way back into the contest, rocking Usyk with a thunderous uppercut.

But while it looked like Fury was on track to pull off the victory, the former undisputed cruiserweight champion wouldn’t give up, showcasing his remarkable engine, en route to hurting and almost stopping the 6ft9 giant in an eventual decision victory.

With the first match-up delivering in abundance, the boxing community can’t wait for another slice.

And while it’s still over a week until the all-important clash, at least for now, the fans have a simulation to feed their excitement.

Boxing Fight Simulations has posted a video to YouTube, that, like the real first collision, depicts Usyk getting off to a tremendous start, landing flashy combinations.

However, in a testament to his fighting spirit, Fury once again worked his way back into the bout, particularly finding a home for the body shots. But this time, rather than letting it slip, the Brit maintained his momentum, finishing the clash with his hand raised via unanimous decision.

In the current era of heavyweight boxers, Usyk and Fury have undeniably risen to the top.

But with their time at the pinnacle of the sport likely coming to an end, the Englishman has taken a look at the next generation of warriors coming through.

He’s gone as far as claiming there’s one man out there who possesses even more talent than both him and his nemesis.

Oleksandr Usyk has never been one to follow convention during his iconic career, and it seems his build-up to the rematch with Tyson Fury is no different.

Having outpointed his rival last February, the pair return to Saudi Arabia this weekend as the Ukrainian puts his world titles on the line.

The 37-year-old is one of just three boxers in history to unify divisions in two different weight classes, and remains undefeated on his 22-fight professional record.

His latest training camp has taken place in Gandia, Spain, hidden away from the limelight as he bids to cement his status as the best heavyweight of his generation.

And according to the Daily Mail, Usyk has again adopted some unusual methods in his preparation. His gym reportedly has an ‘Undisputed’ banner on the wall, along with images of the former Olympic gold medalist attacking Fury during their first fight.

But that doesn’t begin to tell the story of a camp that has delved way beyond sparring and pounding punch bags. Usyk is well known for his love of sports outside of boxing, a concept he is again seemingly embracing.

He’s reportedly mixing in-ring training with cardio work and tennis. And having utilised the work of sport scientist Jakub Chycki, Usyk has also been in the swimming pool to aid his preparation.

“We have implemented a lot of new things this camp,” who said??. “This is done by Jakub Chycki. We walk on our hands for 15 minutes to build strength. We run, we swim.

“And we sit underneath the water. We have reached the level where we can sit under water for 10 minutes which really helps with my fitness, stamina and breathing during a fight.”

But Usyk is not ignoring the festive period either. He was also claimed to have sung a few Christmas carols during his appearance, with a Santa Claus hat in place, to prove he has not lost his sense of perspective ahead of what could be the defining night of his career.

The Briton faces the Ukrainian again after their earlier bout, and admits the financial gain is a driving factor in his call.

Usyk puts his WBA (super), WBC and WBO world heavyweight titles on the line when he faces Fury on December 21.

It will be their second meeting following their May showdown, where the Ukrainian edged out the Brit by split decision to become the undisputed champion.

The rematch is just over a week away, but if either fighter withdraws from the Riyadh clash, then a contract clause is set to be triggered.

For their first fight, which was rescheduled following a cut sustained to Fury in sparring, Turki Alalshikh inserted a penalty should either man back out of the contest.

He said that Usyk or Fury would be required to pay their rival a sum of £10 million if they pulled out of the match.

“I guarantee both of the fighters £10m if someone escapes from the fight. This is the first thing, and the second thing – I guarantee a big fight on the same night for another one,” he said on The MMA Hour, ahead of the first fight, which took place on May 18 following the cancellation of the original February 17 date.

“Make the people around the world know if someone is scared and wants to escape from this fight,” the Saudi boxing chief added.

Usyk seemingly confirmed that the same clause is written in the contract ahead of their rematch.

During an interview with his app Ready To Fight, he said: “He has a contract and so do I until Dec 31st, we have to hold this fight up to and including [that date].

“If he pulls out December 21, he will lose all of his money and dividends and won’t be a man of his word anymore.”

There have been no suggestion that Usyk vs. Fury 2 will be postponed, with both fighters seemingly fit and healthy prior to renewing hostilities next weekend.

Tyson Fury clowned around in the boxing ring and found that it always doesn’t end well. Not only did he drop the fight, but he also missed out on the chance to solidify his history. After all, the undisputed crown was on the line. But what exactly happened? How did Oleksandr Usyk shatter his defense and his perfect record?

Fabio Wardley explained it all when he appeared in a TNT Boxing Sports analysis video. The fans witnessed Fury, 36, making a strong start in the fight against Usyk, 37, but the latter turned the tide toward the middle rounds. How did the Ukrainian fighter suddenly find ‘Gypsy King’s kryptonite and double down on the glaring holes in the game plan? Wardley, 29, believed it was because of Fury’s lazy punching.

The British champion pointed out that Fury’s lead hand was low, which invited Usyk to land. In addition, he believed only landed a jab at a time, not putting high volume or work rate. It resulted in Usyk landing his combinations on counters after he figured out the timing of those jabs. Wardley, at 18-0-1, said, “I think a lot of Fury’s downfall as well was one, again, easily identifiable. There is that low lead hand, which is very inviting.”

He continued, “Especially bad now is it seems, where Usyk is up a gear… He wants to be throwing punches. But also in Fury, not putting his punches together. Just one jab, two jab, maybe a one-two. But not really putting anything together. And you’ll see coming off of that one right hand, pretty lazy, gets hit with a combination. Single shots, again, from Fury. Not really doing too much. Whereas, then Usyk comes in one-two, firing and nice and sharp change of pace.”

But now the question is whether Fury will plug the holes. Will he start with his corner and make some changes there? It seems like it.

Last time around, the Manchester native had SugarHill Steward, Andy Lee and his father, John Fury. All three voices ended up creating dissonance during the fight, and it could be the reason the former WBC champion lost his gold strap. But Lee has clarified that there will be only one man shouting instructions during the rematch—Steward.

Leee said, “There [were] a lot of voices in the corner–we were in a dire situation and had to get him back to himself. His dad was giving him great advice, I thought. But he’s also a dad, and that’s his son. ‘Suga’ should have been the only voice, and he will be the only voice in the next fight.” That’s not it. Fury has decided to add more mass to his frame, too. It remains to be seen how these two changes affect Fury’s rematch now.

Billy Joe Saunders has told talkSPORT exactly what Tyson Fury needs to do in order to beat Oleksandr Usyk.

The pair are set to rematch on December 21 in Riyadh after the Ukrainian conquered the Brit in their first meeting.

Back in May, Fury seemed to be finding a real rhythm in the fight as it hit the halfway point.

He even buckled Usyk’s legs with an uppercut in the sixth.

However, in the second half of the contest things took a drastic turn.

Usyk broke Fury’s nose with a clean shot in round eight and then famously, in the ninth, hurt him badly.

The Brit was pummelled all around the ring and came close to being stopped as the referee called a knockdown in the Ukrainian’s favour.

After this, Fury recovered but was unable to regain the rhythm he’d found earlier in the contest.

Usyk won via split decision, with most observers believing him to be a clear winner when the final bell rang.

According to the scorecards though, the knockdown and subsequent rounds were key in deciding the contest.

Reflecting on this, Fury’s long-time friend Saunders told talkSPORT Drive: “Look if Fury does what he needs to do, I’m sure he knows he’s got to train smart now and not hard.

“Minus the knockdown last time he won the fight.

“And how did the knockdown come? He got caught with a shot when he was [switched off].

“You can’t switch off.

“One thing with Usyk, that’s why he’s that level, you can’t switch off for a second.

“You need to stay engaged and switched on until the final bell.

“Because if you’re winning nine rounds, ten rounds, eleven rounds – he’s that good, anything can happen.

“So you’ve got to be switched on and I think he wins it easy.”

Fury’s target weight for the rematch is already becoming a talking point.

According to talkSPORT boxing pundit Gareth A Davies, Fury is aiming to come in around the 19st 7lbs mark (273lbs) – almost a stone heavier than he was for their first fight at 18st 10lbs (262lbs).

“When Tyson beat Klitschko nine years ago he was a 27-year-old, very light on his feet, he bamboozled opponents with those telescopic arms, his movement and tying fighters up,” said Davies on talkSPORT Fight Night.

“That version went away in the three fights with Deontay Wilder, certainly the second and third fights where he became a bigger hitter at 19 and a half stone.

“I’m told internally from his camp that is where they intend him to be for Usyk in this fight, 19 and a half stone.”
