Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury 2: Preview

Posted on November 1, 2024 by Heather

Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) is defending multiple titles against England’s Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs), on December 21, 2024, at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The Heavyweight boxing bout will be broadcast live on DAZN Pay-Per-View. In the initial match-up between Usyk and Fury on May 18, 2024, Usyk defeated Fury and became the undisputed world heavyweight champion by split decision. The rematch will have the following titles up for grabs: WBC, WBA, IBF, and the WBO titles. Turki Alalshikh, the chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority, has played a major role in securing a rematch as soon as possible for the two professional boxers.

Oleksandr Usyk is undergoing intense training in preparation for his upcoming rematch with Fury to defend his current titles and remain the heavyweight champion. He owns a gym in Spain where he has sparred against 40 different boxers for 250 rounds. Utilizing a separate opponent per round, Usyk’s training camp consists of 15 rounds of three and a half minutes each.

Tyson Fury is also undergoing training, while posting the training videos on his social media. He is essentially out for revenge in December for four world titles. Fury has a nutritionist who suggests that he consumes 4,500–6,000 calories on training days. His diet is strict with a high protein and healthy food intake. In a different way, Tyson is also working on improving his sparring techniques just as Oleksandr has been doing.

Exclusive Feature: Gwen Legge – Boxing Manager, Sports Apparel Designer

Posted on November 1, 2024 by Heather

Introduction

Gwen Legge was born on January 30th and raised in Long Island, New York. Starting from a young age, she had a passion for boxing. Her life journey took her from a career in combat sports apparel, to becoming a successful boxing manager.

Currently, Gwen owns a boxing and an MMA management company. She still partakes in her enjoyment of crafting stellar sports apparel for her brand, Eruption boxing. Yet, she currently only does this for the fighters she manages. This shows her love that she has for the combat sports industry and the great craftsmanship she has in apparel creation. Providing quality products and top-notch customer service has always been important to Gwen.

The reason that Mrs. Legge is so passionate about the boxing industry and other combat sports, goes back to the good old days. This is when she would hangout with her grandfather frequently. From what I understand, her and her grandpa had a special bond, especially when it came to watching sports. Gwen told me that her “grandfather was into every sport on the planet”. They would watch boxing especially fighters such as they’re favorite, which was Muhammad Ali, as well as Sugar Ray Leonard, Hagler, and others. Gwen Legge obviously loves being a boxing manager. I asked her if she foresees herself ever retiring. She said, that she will always be doing what she does now.
