On this festive Christmas day, Tyson Fury turned to social media with a post extending warm wishes to his fans and followers. However, the same joy wasn’t shared by his fans, who were more eager for his fight against Oleksandr Usyk in February next year.

On 28 October, ‘The Gypsy King’ Fury squared off against the mighty Francis Ngannou, winning the fight via a controversial split decision. However, before that fight unfolded, a clash with the Ukranian Usyk was formalized. Initially, the fight was supposed to happen on 23 December, but due to Ngannou’s surprisingly good performance and Fury’s injuries, the Usyk fight was pushed to 17 February. When Fury shared the Christmas wishes online from him and his family, fans erupted with excitement for the fight next year.

Another user claimed he could not wait to see Fury beat Oleksandr Usyk.

The next user had a different idea, claiming this Christmas would be Fury’s last as an undefeated boxer.
