Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk, undisputed heavyweight boxing world title

Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will meet in boxing's new home, Riyadh, as the Saudi Arabia n takeover of pugilism at the highest, showbiziest level, continues.

He did so moving through the weight divisions too, earning his first international medal as a middleweight in 2006. Briedis, the Latvian who Jai Opetaia faces for the second time in his career on the undercard of this event, was defeated by majority decision, two judges awarded Usyk the bout 115-113, with the other judge scoring it a 114-114 draw.All up, Usyk has a professional record of 21-0 with 14KOs, only one of which has come in a heavyweight contest.Of all the heavyweight contests Usyk could take on, this one is without a doubt the toughest.

How much that trilogy took out of either fighter is worth discussing, three hellacious and bloody wars that saw both men felled and forced them to reach deep into themselves just to survive. Part of Fury's woes appear to be down to a celebrity hangover of sorts from those epic encounters — think Bruce Wayne stagnating in his manor following the demise of his arch nemesis, the Joker.
