Tyson Fury’s Open Training Session: A Masterclass in Deception or a Dress Rehearsal?
Tyson Fury treated Oleksandr Usyk to either a dress rehearsal of their megafight in Saudi Arabia on Saturday night or a master class in deception.
Fury’s Performance
Open work outs are normally a couple of minutes of prancing about plus a little pad work if the public are lucky. However, Fury put on a 25-minute show in 40 degrees of night heat, which limited his rival world champion to only a little more than the usual.
He showed remarkable speed of hand and foot for his size, thanks in large part to his reduced frame. Fury also opted to switch his stance to southpaw for much of the open training session.
Usyk’s Response
Usyk was in the ring for less time than Fury but he too switched up his stance in the session. This added another layer of fascination to the coming clash between the two; Fury’s power and the technical genus of the smaller Usyk.
Fury’s Strategy
Fury looked fantastic as he showed that he will use his still heavier bulk to lean on and wear down Usyk. As well as movement to lure his man out of his preference for boxing on the back foot and into danger.
It was mightily impressive. But they do say in this hard game that the gym is a liar. Was Fury revealing the truth in advance or laying a false trail?
Conclusion
Fury’s performance has added another layer of intrigue to the upcoming fight. While it’s unclear whether he was revealing his true strategy or laying a false trail, one thing is certain – the bout between Fury and Usyk is shaping up to be an epic clash.
