Tyson Fury's Punch Resistance Questioned by UFC Icon Joe Rogan Ahead of Usyk Rematch

Signs of Decline

Tyson Fury's performance against Oleksandr Usyk in May raised concerns about his punch resistance, according to UFC commentator Joe Rogan. Fury's near knockout in the ninth round of their fight has led Rogan to believe that the Gypsy King is "not all there anymore."

Previous Knockdowns

Despite being known for his ability to take a punch, Fury has been knocked down multiple times in his career. The recent knockdown by Usyk was the eighth of Fury's professional boxing journey.

Damage from Wilder Fights

Rogan pointed out that Fury's punch resistance might have been affected by his trilogy with Deontay Wilder, during which he was dropped four times. Another knockdown by Francis Ngannou in a crossover clash last October further highlighted concerns about Fury's chin.

Fury's Response

Fury, however, remains confident and determined ahead of his rematch with Usyk. He expressed his intention to go for a knockout and avoid leaving the fight in the judges' hands. Fury emphasized his willingness to take risks and put everything on the line for victory.

Final Thoughts

As the highly anticipated rematch approaches, all eyes will be on Tyson Fury and his ability to bounce back from the near knockout against Usyk. With Joe Rogan voicing his concerns, Fury will aim to prove his critics wrong and secure a decisive victory in the ring.
