Richie Woodhall, the ex-WBC super-middleweight champion, is supporting Tyson Fury to emerge victorious in a potential rematch against Oleksandr Usyk.
Woodhall, currently serving as a TNT Boxing pundit and co-commentator, observed the electrifying match last night from ringside. Usyk emerged victorious, dethroning Fury and securing the title of undisputed heavyweight champion with a hard-fought split decision win.
The fight exceeded all expectations, with momentum shifts, captivating drama, and a surprising standing count for Fury in round nine. However, the Brit made a remarkable comeback in the final round, making it an incredibly absorbing event.
With a rematch clause in place, and a return bout mooted for October, Fury can even the score according to Woodhall who spoke to Boxing News after last night’s events in Riyadh.
Woodhall expressed his belief that Tyson Fury will make a comeback and carefully evaluate his strengths in the previous fight. Woodhall expects Fury to adopt a similar boxing style in the rematch and ultimately defeat Oleksandr Usyk. This statement reflects Woodhall’s personal opinion.
I believed Tyson was in control for a while, but he eventually lost his grip. There were numerous moments of distraction, and he was eventually hit with a powerful shot in the ninth round, which proved to be a crucial moment. However, I feel that the outcome could have gone either way as it was an extremely close match.
It was evident that the people at the Fury camp believed they were victorious, and I can comprehend their perspective. However, the fight was closely contested. In fact, I personally scored it as a tie, 114-114, which means it could have gone either way.
