Tyson Fury predicts a knockout win over Oleksandr Usyk in their rematch
Tyson Fury expressed confidence in securing a knockout victory over Oleksandr Usyk in their highly anticipated rematch. Fury emphasized his track record of knocking out opponents in rematches and predicted a similar result against Usyk.
