Well, that was quick …
Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury rematch in three days (Sat., Dec. 21, 2024) in what should be an epic showdown for the WBA, WBC, and WBO Heavyweight titles, which will go down inside Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
As is customary, both Heavyweight boxers do an open workout (watch here) for fans and media before the fight, but today (Wed., Dec. 18, 2024), boxing fans got gypped by “The Gypsy King.”
Indeed, Fury attended the Usyk vs. Fury 2 open workouts but didn’t do anything. The former boxing champion laced up his gloves and boots and acted as if he was going to shadow box when he charged towards his trainer, but he didn’t. Instead, Fury raised his hand as he walked around the ring, then bowed to the crowd before returning to his trainer to remove his gloves.

Maybe Fury is focused solely on his upcoming fight, or it could be Fury being Fury. In comparison, he shadow boxed and hit the mitts for nearly 20 minutes in his open workout in May for Fury vs. Usyk 1.
Usyk shadow boxed and danced in his open workout.
