Oleksandr Usyk Repeats Over Tyson Fury + Undercard Recap, News And Holyfield Nostalgia | Fight Freaks Unite Recap Podcast

Just days before Christmas we are back with a recap of the unified heavyweight title rematch win by Oleksandr Usyk Saturday night over Tyson Fury and more on the "Fight Freaks Unite Recap Podcast!"

Host T.J. Rives and insider Dan Rafael of his Fight Freaks Unite Substack are back and they have the 
recap of the Riyadh Season/DAZN PPV card in Riyadh Saudi Arabia.

Oleksandr Usyk validated his May win by decisioning Tyson Fury in the rematch and retains lineal/WBC/WBO/WBA heavyweight crowns. What's next for both men? Dubois rematch for Usyk? Joshua for Fury? And, does Usyk belong in any "all-time" conversations at heavyweight?

On the undercard, rising British heavyweight Moses Itauma destroys Demsey McKean in the first round, Serhii Bohachuk TKO6 on late replacement Ishmael Davis in a WBC 154 eliminator and British heavys Johnny Fisher and David Allen fought a wild battle.  The boys go over it all.

There's news with Jaron Ennis telling Eddie Hearn to stop negotiating a possible Teofmo Lopez defense? WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE? Matchroom/DAZN recently announced their six events for the first quarter of 2025. You'll be underwhelmed as a U.S. fight fan.

And, the IBF ordered an all-French super middleweight final eliminator between unbeaten young star Christian Mbilli and European champion Kevin Lele Sadjo,  

And one bit of Nostalgia, as on Dec. 20, 2008 – 16 years ago on Friday – one of most heinous robberies ever! Nikolai Valuev decisioned legendary Evander Holyfield to retain WBA heavyweight title in Zurich, Switzerland (PPV in the US). Holyfield was 46, going for a fifth heavyweight title reign and woulda been old heavyweight titleholder but was outright robbed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! according to Dan.
