Tyson Fury dismisses pressure: ‘It’s just a fight’ despite title hype: ‘They’re all the same’

Just days out from his pivotal title fight with rival, Oleksandr Usyk, former WBC heavyweight kingpin, Tyson Fury claims he’s feeling no added pressure to avenge his sole professional loss at the first time of asking — and reclaim gold, claiming each fight he enters are “the same” regardless of spoils on the line.

Fury, a former undisputed WBC heavyweight champion, saw his stunning 35-fight unbeaten run in professional boxing come to a shattering end back in May of this year, dropping a one-sided split decision loss to Ukrainian favorite, Usyk — who would become the first fighter in the “four-belt era” to hold all undisputed championships, as well as maintain his unbeaten record.
