BOXING fans are eagerly awaiting the first undisputed heavyweight bout in almost 25 years.
Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will face off in Saudi Arabia for what is one of the most highly anticipated fights in recent history.
The Gypsy King has already been forced to postpone the fight twice after a close run affair with Francis Ngannou left him shaken up and a sparring injury to his eye led to a second delay.
But as we edge closer to the fight everything seems to be in order for a battle between two of boxing’s biggest fighters.
As well as having a huge main event for the Middle East match-up, fans can look forward to some exciting fights on the undercard in Riyadh.
Two IBF titles are up for grabs before Usyk and Fury take to the ring for their undisputed clash.
And big name fighters such as Joe Cordina and Jai Operaia will be donning their gloves to entertain the Saudi crowds and try and maintain their flawless records.
When is Fury vs Usyk?
- Fury vs Usyk will now take place on Saturday, May 18 after the original date of February 17 was postponed.
- The fight will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
- Expect main event ring-walks to get going from around 11pm BST, with the main card likely to start from 6pm BST.
