Fury vs Usyk preview
Tyson Fury takes on Oleksandr Usyk in the first undisputed heavyweight title clash since 1999 tonight in Saudi Arabia.
The Gypsy King holds the WBC title in boxing’s glamour division, while Usyk is in possession of the WBA, WBO, IBF and Ring Magazine straps.
The undefeated heavyweights have been on a collision course to fight for 18 months, following the Ukrainian’s rematch win over Anthony Joshua in 2022.
Usyk is looking become the first man in history to win undisputed titles at both cruiserweight and heavyweight – and he’s just one win away.
A victory for Fury, on the other hand, would set up an all-British mega-bout with Anthony Joshua in the near future.
