Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury meet again in the highly anticipated rematch this weekend.
The first fight was billed as one of the biggest moments in the sports history as Oleksandr Usyk became the first undisputed champion of the heavyweight division since Lennox Lewis in 1999.
For Tyson Fury meanwhile, the ‘Gypsy King’ will look to avenge a first professional defeat of his career after the judges’ scorecard awarded Usyk a split-decision victory.
After initially being pencilled in for Autumn 2024, the fight was pushed back to allow the two heavyweight legends to recover from their injuries and now the time is finally here to do battle again.
There will be no undisputed title on the line this time after Usyk was forced to vacate his IBF belt to Daniel Dubois, who is in line to face the winner of the rematch.
So, with that, here is everything you need to know ahead of this weekend’s blockbuster bout.
