After Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk finally meet in the ring this weekend, boxing should have its first undisputed heavyweight champion in nearly a quarter-century. These are the two best fighters from a strong era of heavyweight boxing.

Heavyweight boxers Britain’s Tyson Fury, left, and Ukraine’s Oleksandr Usyk stand on the stage during the weigh-in in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia , Friday, May 17, 2024, prior to their undisputed heavyweight championship fight on Saturday. Heavyweight boxers Britain’s Tyson Fury, center left, and Ukraine’s Oleksandr Usyk face off during the weigh-in in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia , Friday, May 17, 2024, prior to their undisputed heavyweight championship fight on Saturday.

Usyk has held three of the world’s major titles for nearly three years, while Fury holds the fourth after a career in which he has worn all four championship belts at different points. The current monumental moment in boxing history is happening at Riyadh’s Kingdom Arena, and that’s no coincidence: Oil-rich Saudi Arabia is spending lavish amounts of money to make the world’s top fights, steamrolling the typical grudges and turf disputes between elite boxers and their territorial promoters.

The 6-foot-9 Fury has never possessed a classic prizefighter’s physique, but he looked excessively pudgy when he fought Ngannou, and most observers related his poor conditioning to his overall lack of preparation for the bout.
