Tyson Fury promises less clowning and more punching Oleksandr Usyk in the face during their upcoming rematch for boxing’s heavyweight championship. Usyk won a split decision in May in Saudi Arabia, and they get back in the ring there Dec. 21. Fury doesn’t plan to change much from his first loss as a pro, beyond doing everything he can to avoid leaving the result to the judges. The first matchup made Usyk boxing’s first undisputed heavyweight champion in 24 years. Fury quickly activated his right to a rematch. He is 5-0, with all the wins by stoppage, in rematches.
