Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) and Oleksandr Usyk (21-0-0, 14 KOs) are set for a clash to decide the undisputed heavyweight champion. Saturday night’s bout in Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia will decide the IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO, and WBC heavyweight champion.
The bout was originally scheduled for Feb. 17, but Fury suffered a cut to his eye during a sparring match that forced a postponement. The British boxer was last in the ring on Oct. 28 for a split-decision win over Francis Ngannou.
