Tyson Fury claims he will not win a points decision against Oleksandr Usyk no matter what ahead of their unified heavyweight battle, as the Gypsy King pledges to knock out the former undisputed champion.
The rematch between the two will take place on Saturday, December 21, with Fury looking to avenge his first career defeat to the Ukrainian, which he said was due to his country's involvement in the conflict.
And it appears that the 34-year-old is eager to double down on that conspiracy claim, vowing to stop The Cat in the distance rather than leave his fate up to the judges once more.
"There's no doubt I'm going in there to knock him out," Fury told Undisputed. "Because I don't believe I will not get a decision no matter what I do.
I don't think I'll receive a boxing decision. So I'll have to remove the judges' hands, as I did in America at the time. "I have to get him out of there."
Despite giving a solid account of himself against Usyk, most observers believe he did not do enough to win the bout due to the Ukrainian's intelligence to command the range and superb counter-punching abilities.
Fury was lucky he wasn't stopped after bleeding began in the eighth round, was rocked in the ninth and appeared as though he was ready to go with the referee Mark Nelson awarding a knockdown against him after judging the ropes kept him up.
What exactly does Fury mean by "that time"?
The 'that time' Fury is alluding to is when he challenged Deontay Wilder for the WBC belt in December 2018, which finished in a draw despite the 6ft 9in monster appearing like the far superior boxer.
Judges ruled the bout at the Stapes Center in Los Angeles 112-114, 113-113, and 115-111, with Alejandro Rochin's judgment being branded as absurd, since he scored seven rounds in the Bronze Bomber's favor, despite Wilder knocking Fury down twice.
They then met again in 2020 and 2021, with the Brit knocking out the American twice to earn the WBC belt, implying that he has won all of the boxing belts, including the lineal title, at some point during his career.
