Tyson Fury suffered his first career defeat against Oleksandr Usyk Tyson Fury’s rematch against Oleksandr Usyk will take place on December 21 in Saudi Arabia. Fury suffered the first defeat of his professional career earlier this month as Usyk won via split decision in Riyadh to become the undisputed heavyweight champion. With his victory, Usyk is now the IBF, WBO, WBA and WBC title holder and is the heavyweight division’s first unified world champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999.
Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren, had initially cast doubt over a potential rematch between the pair and suggested Fury could opt to retire. However, it has now been confirmed by Saudi Arabia’s sports hierarchy that a rematch between Fury and Usyk will take place at the end of this year.
