Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk is CONFIRMED for February 17 in Saudi Arabia... with the blockbuster undisputed heavyweight bout finally announced after more than a year of talks
Daily MailTyson Fury is back on the hustings, banging the drum for his fight against Oleksandr Usyk to resolve who will become the first undisputed world heavyweight champion for more than a decade. By confirming at a glitzy London launch that he and Usyk will put all the belts on the line in Saudi Arabia on February 17 Fury brings a dazzling shaft of light to a corner of sport in danger of going as dark as the room in which Anthony Joshua has been trying to find his old self. An alliance between Frank Warren and the Saudi Kingdom is also bringing AJ black into the ring, against Otto Wallin there on December 23 But the fight which matters - and their contracted spring rematch - is Furyk v Usyk Tyson Fury has confirmed he will fight Oleksandr Usyk in a blockbuster undisputed fight on February 17 Tyson Fury boldly proclaimed he would knock Usyk 'out cold' when the pair collide Usyk insisted he would do his talking in the ring and declined to engage in verbal sparring The fight will take place in Riyadh on February 17 as Saudi cements its reputation as the main stage for big heavyweight fights And the Gypsy King is aware of the importance. Fury has held the WBC heavyweight world title since stopping Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas in February 2020 and has since defended his belt three times Usyk has held the WBA, IBF and WBO belts since dethroning Anthony Joshua by unanimous decision in London in September 2021, defending the title a second time in August In contradiction of speculation that he pulled out of December 23 to give himself time to recover from an unexpectedly brutal crossover fight with UFC star Francis Ngannou, Fury says: 'February is not my ideal date.
