The highly anticipated showdown between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight championship is just days away. The two boxing giants will face off this Saturday at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with Fury putting his WBC title on the line against Usyk’s WBA, IBF, IBO, and The Ring titles.
Fury, with a record of 34-0-1, is a decorated champion but is coming off a lackluster performance against Francis Ngannou in October. Despite a close call, Fury managed to secure a split decision victory. Now, he faces a tough challenge in Usyk, who boasts a perfect record of 21-0 and is the former undisputed cruiserweight champion.
Usyk, a 2012 Olympic gold medalist, has been dominant since turning professional in 2013. He moved up to the heavyweight division and defeated Anthony Joshua twice to claim his current titles. His most recent victory came in August with a ninth-round knockout of Daniel Dubois.
The event will kick off at 10 a.m. ET on DAZN with two preliminary bouts before transitioning to an eight-fight pay-per-view card, headlined by the Fury vs. Usyk showdown. The full fight card includes exciting matchups like Jai Opetaia vs. Mairis Briedis for the vacant IBF cruiserweight title and Joe Cordina vs. Anthony Cacace for the IBF super featherweight title.
Boxing fans around the world are eagerly awaiting this historic clash between two of the sport’s best, as the winner will be crowned the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 2000. Don’t miss out on what promises to be an unforgettable night of boxing action.
