In this post, I will be outlining the keys to victory for either fighter, in the upcoming Ring of Fire event, scheduled to take placed tomorrow at Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Firstly, I will start off with Fury:
- Use height and reach
- Use leans and clinches, and even pushes
- Work the body
- When avoiding or defending punches, use the ropes for leverage
- Switch-hit
- Use the southpaw stance
- utilise the left-hand for power-punches and counters
Now, I will outlaw the keys to victory for Usyk:
- Utilise feints
- establish the jab
- control distance, maintain preferred range
- head-movement and footwork
- work combinations and counters
- use the rear hand for power counter punches
- use body-shots to setup head-shots
- avoid getting too close to Fury
- don’t get trapped in the ropes or corners
- move around Fury’s lead-foot
- anticipate the left-hand as a power hand from Fury
- protect the body
Please feel to free comment on X, as I will be sharing this post there, there are some differences compared to the tweet I posted earlier outlining the keys to victory.

Keys to victory for either fighter:
Fury:
1. Use height and reach
2. Use leans and clinches, and even pushes
3. Work the body
4. When avoiding or defending punches, use the ropes for leverage, potentially allowing Fury to avoid punches completely
5. Switch-hit, with an emphasis…— LMGBoxFit (@LMGBoxFit) May 17, 2024
I expect Usyk to get the victory by any method, I’m noticing a pattern of more people going for draws in their bets in this fight; personally, I think there will be a winner.
In any event, I expect there will a rematch, may the best man win the fight tomorrow, I’m sure it will be an intriguing spectacle.
