In anticipation of his rematch with heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk on December 21 in Saudi Arabia, Tyson Fury claims he is “back in the gym.”
Last month, the English boxer lost a split decision to Usyk of Ukraine, marking the first setback of his professional career.
The 35-year-old Fury shared a video of himself practicing on a heavy bag on Instagram and claimed he was “relishing” the chance to exact retribution.
“I’ve done everything in boxing but I ain’t come back from a loss,” Fury said.
“I relish it, the chance to come back and redeem myself. December 21st is all me, undisputed here we come.”
The rematch is still six months away, but Fury says he is “counting down the days” until he can get “redemption”.
Former WBC champion Fury was winning the fight before he was caught by Usyk in the ninth round.
Fury recovered but the knockdown was enough to convince two of the three judges that Usyk had narrowly won.
The rematch was quickly announced for December, but there are doubts about whether the undisputed title will be on the line again.
The IBF are considering a request from Usyk to retain his title with the sanctioning body saying before the Fury fight, they intended to strip the champion if he did not immediately fight their mandatory challenger.
Usyk, 36, is the first undisputed heavyweight champion in the four-belt era and the first since Lennox Lewis achieved the feat almost 25 years ago.
