Tyson Fury offers Oleksandr Usyk new fight terms to ‘up the ante’ – but fans think he has different motive

TYSON FURY has told Oleksandr Usyk to forget about a rematch clause if he wants to secure their April 29 undisputed Wembley showdown.

Morecambe’s 34-year-old WBC Gypsy King has thrown a handful of financial hurdles in the way of getting the four-belt decider made.

Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are on course for a historic April 29 showdown

But a contract for their undisputed heavyweight title fight has yet to be finalised


Gypsy King Fury has challenged Usyk to scrap a potential rematch clause

And now he is back at it again by demanding the loser gets no shot at a rerun written into the contract.

WBA, IBF and WBO boss Usyk has already had to agree to the slim side of a 70-30 split in Tyson Fury’s home – after the Brit refused a 50-50 split in Saudi Arabia.

And now he is being told to accept a one-fight deal, meaning no chance of getting instant retribution if he were to suffer a controversial decision in Fury’s backyard.

The undefeated 6ft 9in giant growled: “I have been speaking to the lawyers today and Usyk’s people are talking about rematch clauses and all that bs.

“He is one to up the ante, how about there is no f***ing rematch clause? For both of us, let’s really up the ante.

“Never worry about what is in the future and how many more dollars you can get after you have been defeated.

“Worry about the fight on April 29.

“No rematch clause, the winner takes all the glory, the loser goes home with his dick in his hands.

“How about that? Agree to that you f***ing b***h.

Boxing fans were quick to react to the ultimatum, saying: “Definitely should be a rematch clause.”

Another said: “I get the feeling if Usyk didn’t want a rematch clause, you’d be on here saying the exact opposite.”

And another said: “Give him the rematch clause Tyson he’s agreed 70/30/.”

One remarked: “Moving the goalposts a lot here, champ.”

Another chimed in: “Love this ! No rematch clause.”

One boxing fan said: “Great idea, no rematch and the champion moves on to fight another contender just how it should be.”

Usyk accepted Fury’s tight-fisted offer on the condition of a £1million donation to the people of Ukraine fighting to defend and rebuild their nation.

The 36-year-old southpaw seems far more focused on training and fighting while Fury keeps filming himself making more and more demands.

He said: “I’m preparing for my next fight against Tyson Fury.

“Promoters are having negotiations, managers are talking about the fight.

“I think a lot depends on one person in particular, Tyson Fury.”

Boxing is based on the following skills:

  • Punching techniques
  • Guarding techniques
  • Footwork
  • Stance
  • The body moves
  • Defense
  • Combination
  • Rotation
  • Spare parts

Punching Techniques

There are seven types. Each punch is unique. Some punches require more strength than others. For example, an uppercut is a powerful punch. A straight punch on the other side requires less power, but is more effective than other punches.

There are also different combinations. These are combinations that combine punches to accomplish a particular goal. A combination may have multiple parts. For example, a combination of a left and right hook will result in damage to the opponent’s jaw.

Guard Techniques

A boxer uses his body to protect himself against attacks. He does this by using his legs, arms, elbows, hands, knees and feet.

Legs

To defend against kicks, a boxer should use his legs. After receiving a kick, he will raise his leg and move away from the attacker. If the attack comes from the front, then he bends his knees to avoid being kicked on the side. If the attack comes from behind, however, he can stand straight up and block the kick by his foot.

Elbows

Elbow strikes are very effective because they inflict much pain. An elbow strike can be delivered either directly or indirectly. Directly, you strike your opponent with your forearm. Indirectly, you hit him with another portion of your arm.

Hands

Boxers use both their hands and arms to prevent incoming blows. To do so, they raise their fists above their head and move them towards the direction of the attack. Then they make contact with the attacker’s fist.

Knees

A boxer should bend his knees in order to absorb any blows to his stomach, abdomen, chest or stomach. A lot of boxers use knee strikes to defend themselves.

Feet

A boxer should take control of an attack and respond with counter-attacks. This allows him to put distance between himself, his opponent, and the ring. Boxers should also keep their balance when counter-attacking.

Stances

Boxing is only possible if a boxer has a clear stance. How he defends his self will depend on how he stances. It is how he positions himself and where he faces the opponent. There are many positions that boxers can adopt. Here are some of the more popular ones:

  • Low stance
  • High stance
  • Southpaw stance
  • Western stance

Body Movement

Boxers must maneuver around their opponent to win fights. This involves changing positions, speed, rhythm and timing.

Rotation

When a boxer throws a punch, he rotates in order to increase the reach of his arm. The rotation is done at different speeds depending on the type of punch.

Combinations

The timing of each individual punch affects the effectiveness or failure of a combination. A combination of strong and weak punches will produce a good result.

Sparring

Sparring, a boxing practice session, is designed to improve your boxing skills. Sparring allows a boxer to improve his mental and physical skills. Sparring is a way to learn how to fight without getting hurt.

You need to have patience and dedication in order to learn how boxing works. To become a better boxer, you must train hard and for a long time.
