Tyson Fury: "This is insane", "Genius!" - Fans react to Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury rematch promo trailer

Combat sports fans recently voiced their opinions about the recently launched teaser of the Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Fury rematch. The heavyweights will battle it out on 21st December.

The first Usyk vs. Fury encounter ended with the referee raising the Ukrainian boxer's hand at the end of a twelve-round slugfest. As a result, 'The Cat' was crowned the undisputed heavyweight champion.

Both boxers started the fight cautiously, with Usyk playing the aggressor in the initial rounds. However, his intent to pressure Fury cost him heavily in the sixth round as he got rocked by a right hook. Usyk recovered swiftly to land a left hook on Fury in the ninth round, earning himself the only knockdown of the fight. Ultimately, Usyk's strikes proved enough to earn him the W via split decision.

The recently launched trailer for the Usyk vs. Fury rematch showcased both men being chased by their opponent's persona everywhere. An X update from @MichaelBensonn showcased the entire teaser.
