JAKARTA - Tyson Fury did not bother ahead of the rematch against Oleksandr Usyk on December 21, 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Fury insists that he will not make a mistake by trying to beat Oleksandr Usyk in the rematch.
The 36-year-old boxer wants revenge after losing his first meeting in the fight for the undisputed heavyweight world champion against Usyk, May 2024, through a separate decision.
Fury insisted that he lost the historic battle in Saudi Arabia because he was cautious against the gold medalist at the 2012 London Olympics.
Now, Fury claims he doesn't want to be careful anymore. He has adopted the mentality of killing or being killed for his second fight with the left-handed boxer.
"I've always been a bad person my whole life. I'm still a bad person today at the age of almost 40."
"I will go in there with a devastating mode. The last time I boxed him, I was careful."
"Anyone can be caught as we've seen in many of these heavyweight fights."

"However, this time I will not make a point decision. I will bring him down (Usyk)," Fury said at The Sun.
Fury's desire to bring Usyk down would not be separated from his distrust of the jury's assessment.
"There is no secret. I will go in there to knock you down. I don't think I will get any decisions I make."
"I don't think I will get a boxing decision. So, I have to take it out of the hands of the jury like I did in America at that time (against Deontay Wilder)," Fury said.
In order to realize his ambition, Fury appears to have significantly increased his weight for the fight later.
Transformation in his body is very visible. It seems that his weight will be more than 18st 7lb (117.4 kg) which he had during the first meeting.
Fury is entering his rematch against Usyk as both challenger and underdog for the first time in five years.
However, he insisted he would do his best when the whole world ignored him.
"For the first time in years, I came in there as a challenger, not a champion."
"I believe it's better as a challenger, always, because I have a goal to achieve something and that gives me encouragement," Fury said.
