Sir Turki Alalshih says he has been “dreaming” since 2015 of a rematch between Wladimir Klitschko and Tyson Fury. However, the rematch will only happen if Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) defeats reigning champion Alexander Usyk. December 21.
Turki wants the 48-year-old Wladimir to have a chance to break George Foreman’s record from November 5, 1994, when he knocked out Michael Moorer in the tenth round to win the title at the age of 45. Vladimir will be 49 years old on March 25. It would be great if Klitschko had a chance to avenge his loss, as Fury never gave him a rematch.
The Fall of King Siji?
He should have given Vlad a rematch, but he mental health is violated after his victory. He celebrated too much and was out of the ring until 2018. No wonder Vladimir gave up and retired. The return game doesn’t seem real. Fury won’t beat Usyk this month. Otherwise, the judge on duty on December 21 saves Tyson this time with a meaningless eight count; he will probably get knocked out by Usyk.
Fury’s chances of winning his rematch against Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) this month are not good. While many boxing fans believe that Fury can win, wiser minds see it as a mismatch. The Gypsy King is very old, 36 years old, and looks even older than Vladimir. Fury looks closer, about 50 years old, and that’s kind.
The eating that Fury did, and no doubt a lot of it, is just simple genetics. Some people age faster than others. His father John Fury looks much older at 59 and Tyson is his spitting image. He looks like the pope, which means he has no prayer against Usyk in their rematch on Dec. 21 at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh.
“I would like to see this fight to give Klitschko the chance to bring back the oldest heavyweight champion. To give him a chance. It’s perfect,” said Turki Alalshkih to Ariel Helwani. channel.
“Of course he (Wladimir) won’t fight Usyk if he wins (against Fury on Dec. 21) because they are two Ukrainian champions, they won’t fight each other.”
Statistics and scores
– Anger: 86 out of 371 for 23%
– Vladimir: 52 out of 231 for 23%
When he fought the 39-year-old Wladimir, Fury was 27 years old, but the punching statistics show that he was barely better than him. If you saw the fight like I did, there was no action from either guy. Fury was doing a lot of grappling and leaning on the ropes.
It was no different than how he fought Oleksandr Usyk, but in that fight he was pressured by the Ukrainian. Vladimir was just afraid of being thrown. You have to remember that he was old, he lost his mentor Emmanuel Steward who died in 2012.
Steward was always able to motivate Klitschko to strike, but when he passed away, that motivational force wasn’t there. He wasn’t following his coach Jonathan Banks’ instructions in the corner and looked rudderless.
