Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury had their roundtable discussion ahead of their December 21 rematch.
The first meeting was an engrossing encounter and the scorecards had it as a split decision verdict: 115-112, 113-114, 114-113 to the Ukrainian.
But, Fury gets an instant chance at revenge when he faces Usyk in Saudi Arabia once again.
In their recent head to head roundtable discussion hosted by Steve Bunce the heavyweights were not giving much away as they watched their fight together.
One moment that stood out though was ‘The Gypsy King’s’ claims that he hurt Usyk but when asked by Bunce he denied it.

Fury said, “This round he was hurt [round six]. Watch these two big right uppercuts. You can’t tell me this never hurt him.”
Usyk: “yeah, of course, a good body shot. [But] I expected it. [No] I didn’t hurt me.”
"He didn't hurt you in that round?" 🤔
"No feel" 😅Vintage @usykaa 😆
