Fury and Usyk Fight Saturday to Crown the First Undisputed Heavyweight Champion in the Four-Belt Era
Britain's Tyson Fury Takes on Ukraine's Oleksandr Usyk in the Heavyweight Title-Unifying Fight at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Tyson Fury faces Oleksandr Usyk in the first undisputed heavyweight fight in nearly 25 years in Saudi Arabia. The clash between WBC champion Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) and IBF, WBA, and WBO ruler Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) is the first time two men have met for all four belts in the heavyweight division since Lennox Lewis defeated Evander Holyfield in 1999.
The fight, which is scheduled to take place at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh on Saturday, August 20th, is being billed as the biggest heavyweight fight in a generation. Fury, the self-proclaimed "Gypsy King," is known for his size, power, and charisma. Usyk, a former Olympic gold medallist, is a skilled boxer with a powerful jab and excellent footwork.
The fight is expected to be a close and competitive affair. Fury is the larger and more powerful fighter, but Usyk is the more experienced and technically proficient boxer. Both men have vowed to win, and the winner will be crowned as the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.
Ringwalk Scheduled for 22:30 BST
The ringwalk for the fight is scheduled for 22:30 BST. The fight will be shown live on BT Sport Box Office in the UK and on ESPN+ in the US.
