TYSON FURY and Oleksandr Usyk face off in the first undisputed heavyweight title clash in over two decades this weekend.
The mega match-up finally takes place more than 18 months in the making following Usyk’s rematch win over Anthony Joshua in August 2022.
And after having the push the date back due to an injury to new, streamlined Fury in sparring ahead of the original February date, the pair will now do battle to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis at a packed Saudi Arabian venue.

Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk preview
It’s arguably the most-anticipated boxing match-up of the 21st century.
And the winner will be the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the world since 1999.
Tyson Fury shocked the boxing world with his look ahead of the grudge duel, having lost a considerable amount of weight to get in the best shape of his career.
Last time out, Fury only just overcame boxing debutant and former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, after being knocked down before going on to win on points.
The Gypsy King puts his WBC title on the line, whilst Ukrainian superstar Oleksandr Usyk is defending his IBF, IBO, WBO and WBA (Super) belts.
This will be the fourth Brit that Usyk has faced in succession, having already conquered Derek Chisora, Anthony Joshua (twice) and Daniel Dubois most recently.
Usyk revealed he missed the birth of his daughter earlier this year to focus on training camp for the original Fury date and will be hoping the extra training will be put to good use.

Best bet
This fight goes the distance. Usyk was not a knockout puncher down the 14st 4lb cruiserweight division.
He cleaned out the entire roster with genius movement and accuracy and he will be much harder for Fury to hit that the likes of Deontay Wilder and Dillian Whyte were, in his most eye-catching early finishes.
Fury doesn’t have the best chin in the world – but his heart is unquestionable. If he can rise from THOSE Wilder knockdowns, it seems impossible he won’t cope with even Usyk’s most pinpoint punches.
Long shot
The draw, in the good old days you could always get 33-1 on the draw – but after Fury vs Wilder 1, it’s been hacked down.
However it looks a good bet and we already know the rematch is nailed on.
