Tyson Fury reveals official track for his Usyk fight, recorded by New Hope Club featuring Lancashire star

Morecambe’s WBC champion Tyson Fury is all set to fight Ukraine's WBA, IBF and WBO title-holder Oleksandr Usyk on May 18 in Saudi Arabia.

It will be the first undisputed world heavyweight bout of the century and to match the significance of the occasion, yesterday the self-proclaimed Gypsy King revealed his fight song had been newly written and recorded just for him.

What is Tyson Fury’s fight song?

The father of seven will be walking out to a new song called “Can’t Lose This Fight” by a band called the New Hope Club.

The track was developed specifically for Tyson’s fight and was only released yesterday.

Who are New Hope Club?

New Hope Club are a pop trio based in the North of England, made up of Lancashire local Reece Bibby, 25, Cheshire born Blake Richardson, 24, and George Smith, 25, from Bedfordshire.

Reece, who is from Accrington, was previously a member of the band ‘Stereo Kicks’ which was formed during the eleventh series of The X Factor and finished in fifth place. 

Stereo Kicks split in July 2015 and the former Hollins Technology College then joined New Hope Club in November 2015, a month after the band was originally formed.

New Hope Club opened for the band The Vamps during their 2016/17 tour and went on to do their own first global tour in 2019.

Their self-titled debut album, released in February 2020, reached Number 5 in the UK album charts and in 2022 they embarked on a UK/US tour.

In total New Hope Club have released 26 singles throughout their career, and here’s hoping their collaboration with Morecambe legend Tyson Fury will be the first to hit the singles charts.
