Heavyweight Fight News

Oleksandr Usyk,Tyson Fury

Tyson Fury faces Oleksandr Usyk in the first undisputed heavyweight fight for a generation on Saturday with bad blood

boiling after a tempestuous clash at the weigh-in.

It adds extra spice to Saturday’s classic encounter at Riyadh’s Kingdom Arena, the first undisputed heavyweight bout since 1999 with the winner taking all four major belts.“I’m coming for his heart, that’s what I’m coming for. his belts. I’m coming for his heart. He’s getting it tomorrow, spark out!”

With the hype going into overdrive, there is the potential for anticlimax with some commentators expecting a cagey fight with Fury on the defensive. Predictions are split over the outcome, with some tipping the rangy, enigmatic Fury and others backing the supreme skills and fitness of Usyk. Usyk, 37, who briefly served as a soldier after the Russian invasion, cleaned up as an amateur and won an Olympic gold medal in 2012.

Massimiliano Allegri is close to being sacked by Juventus on Friday after exploding with anger during his team's midweek Italian Cup triumph, according to widespread reports in local media.
