Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are set to lock horns in a monumental battle next month with each fighter attempting to etch their names in boxing history as the first undisputed heavyweight champion since 1999.
Originally scheduled for February 17, the showdown was then cancelled with weeks to go due to Fury sustaining an injury, a cut to his eye, during a sparring session.
However, fight fans' disappointment was short-lived as a new date was promptly confirmed, with the clash now slated to unfold in Saudi Arabia.
The stakes couldn't be higher as they vie for the prestigious WBC, WBA, WBO, and IBF titles. Fury is coming into the bout fresh off a poor performance against Francis Ngannou, where he tasted the canvas courtesy of the former UFC heavyweight champion and will be more than eager to redeem himself.
