Former WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is geared to lock horns with former undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk on December 21st at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for their blockbuster rematch. In the meantime, ‘The Gypsy King’ is offering all expenses paid free two VIP tickets to one lucky winner. 

The duo originally squared off against each other back in May earlier this year in what turned out to be one of the most exciting matchups of the year. Despite Fury’s several advantages, the Ukrainian southpaw bested the Englishman via split decision. Since then, their rematch has become one of the affairs most discussed in the sport. 

Fury has announced that to grab VIP tickets, you’ll only need to spend a little over $6 or £5—a surprisingly affordable price for an exclusive experience. “I am raffling off two VIP ringside tickets to the fight… Your flights and your hotel are on us… This is an amazing once-in-a-lifetime experience for any boxing fan,” Fury said in a clip shared on Instagram earlier today.

Meanwhile, in the caption of the post, he wrote, “For just £5 entry!” But the question remains, how can you enter this giveaway? Fury provided a link for raffall[dot]com in his post, where fans can pay $6 or £5 to enter the raffle. It’s also worth mentioning that the raffle is ending on Sunday, 8th December at 12:30 or whenever the last ticket for the raffle sells out. 

That said, if you’re thinking about placing a bet on the fight, a former world champion has weighed in with their prediction, offering some intriguing insights into how the bout might unfold.

What’s your perspective on:

Can Tyson Fury's size really overpower Usyk, or is he setting himself up for another defeat?

Have an interesting take?

Having suffered his first career loss last May, Fury has promised vengeance upon ‘The Cat’ in December, as he plans to secure a victory this time round. However, former British super bantamweight champion Duke McKenzie remains unconvinced by Fury’s efforts. He went as far as to call Fury’s approach to the rematch flawed, predicting another loss.

“In-between fights are where fights are won and lost. We know Fury blows up, puts on a load of weight, and then has got to get rid of all that weight again,” McKenzie said in a social media interview. He also criticized Fury’s plan to overpower Usyk with size, “Bigger and better isn’t going to beat Usyk. He’ll be slower, more predictable, and get hit more.”

Declaring the Ukrainian unbeatable, McKenzie added, “Usyk wins the rematch all day long. I can’t see how Tyson Fury beats him.”

It seems Tyson Fury is aiming to cash in on a great opportunity while giving fans a chance to experience his highly anticipated fight against Oleksandr Usyk at a fraction of the usual cost. It’s a win-win: he gets to promote the event, and fans get a shot at an unforgettable experience. Would you take part in the raffle?
