Fans in Saudi Arabia were disappointed when Tyson Fury did not work out during an open workout event ahead of his heavyweight championship rematch with Oleksandr Usyk, despite arriving in dramatic fashion and giving a post-interview promising “a lot of pain” in the upcoming fight.
Fans in Saudi Arabia were buzzing with anticipation for Tyson Fury’s Wednesday showcase. But, oh boy, did they not get what they were hoping for!
This Saturday, Fury is set to clash with Oleksandr Usyk in a colossal heavyweight championship rematch. Before this epic showdown, both fighters participated in the event’s open workouts. Picture this: Fury arriving by boat, stepping into the ring as eager boxing fans watched on.
And then? Well, Fury didn’t actually work out. Yep, you read that right! Check out the video below.
Afterward, Fury chatted with DAZN in a post-workout interview. The questions covered various topics, yet “The Gypsy King” stuck to his theme — whether it made sense or not.
“A lot of pain,” he vowed. “Smashing damage. A lot of hurt. Hurt. Serious hurt. A lot of damage.”
Fury aims to bounce back from his first career defeat in May against Usyk. In that unforgettable bout, Usyk claimed the undisputed heavyweight title with a split decision win.
