The countdown to the rematch started with a press debriefing on Wednesday October 23 at London's Guild Hall. It was astonishingly calm, with both boxer's respectful and gracious, with neither giving much away.

Tyson Fury is slated to face Oleksandr Usyk in a rematch in December in Saudi Arabia, but the previous time the two men fought in May, Fury’s family suffered a traumatic event.

At the time, Paris, Fury's wife, was six months pregnant with their eighth child, a boy, but sadly suffered a miscarriage the day before he lost his WBC world heavyweight title to Ukrainian heavyweight Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia.
