 — The rematch is days away. Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury will go at it again on Saturday night in Saudi Arabia.

Usyk won a split decision the first time and became boxing’s first undisputed heavyweight champion in 24 years. Since then, Usyk gave up the IBF title now held by Daniel Dubois.

So, Usyk's WBC, WBA and WBO belts will be on the line at Kingdom Arena — the same Riyadh venue that hosted the first meeting in May.


Usyk became the first undisputed heavyweight champion of boxing's four-belt era when he took a split decision over Fury in May. With the win, Usyk added Fury's WBC championship to his own IBF, WBA and WBO titles. 

The feat of going undisputed was a repeat of what Usyk had already achieved earlier in his career at cruiserweight before moving to boxing's glamor division to chase further glory.

The loss was the first of Fury's career and came after he started well in the fight only for Fury to turn the tables and start to land heavy shots that repeatedly had Fury on his heels.
