Oscar De La Hoya reacts to Oleksandr Usyk’s second win over Tyson Fury: ‘You are a gentleman and a scholar’

Former world heavyweight boxing champion, Oscar De La Hoya has shared his thoughts from front row tonight as Oleksandr Usyk took on former world champion, Tyson Fury for the second time this year — urging the latter to return to the ring triumphantly following his second straight defeat.

Returning to the ring for the first time since his May loss to Usyk, Morecambe native, Fury would look to avenge his sole professional loss in boxing, in which he dropped his unbeaten 35-fight record, as well as his undisputed WBC heavyweight championship.
