Heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk remained tight-lipped after receiving a message from his rival Tyson Fury. Usyk made history by becoming the first man to defeat 'The Gyspy King', securing a split-decision victory in Riyadh back in May.
This victory saw the 37-year-old become the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999. The pivotal moment in their initial bout came in the ninth round, where Usyk landed several powerful blows that nearly knocked Fury out.
The Brit was left visibly shaken and was saved by the bell, leading many to believe the fight should have been stopped.
