Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk 2
In one of the most highly anticipated bouts of the year, Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will go head to head in Riyadh again for the WBC, WBA & IBO heavyweight title.
The first meeting between Fury and Usyk was a heavyweight slog, with Usyk winning the heavyweight title after the judges scored the bout in favour of the Ukrainian.
