Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are set to clash in a highly anticipated heavyweight rematch this Saturday in the dazzling Kingdom Arena, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Forget any notions of gentlemanly conduct; the buildup has been charged with animosity and fierce banter.

In the lead-up to the fight, the British giant Fury unleashed a barrage of insults at Usyk, calling him “an ugly, bug-eyed rat bastard.” This was just the tip of the iceberg in his tirade against Usyk, who triumphed over Fury by a controversial split decision in their May encounter. Fury has been adamant, insisting, “You got a gift decision. I’m the (expletive) champion.”

A fact check reveals the truth: Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) holds three heavyweight belts, having been stripped of his IBF title for sidelining their mandatory challenger, Daniel DuBois. Meanwhile, Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) will have to use his towering height advantage of six inches effectively if he hopes to reclaim his title.

Fight Breakdown Round by Round

As the rematch commences, here's a round-by-round breakdown:

- **Round 1:** Usyk lands the first significant blow with an early right while they size each other up. Fury appears somewhat soft around the midsection, prompting concerns about his conditioning.

- **Round 3:** Fury rallies back, landing a solid left punch, but Usyk remains elusive and continues to make effective use of his jab.

As the battle wears on, both fighters seem to find their rhythm, with Fury showing moments of aggression but struggling to maintain consistency.
