Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Fury 2 is nearly upon us.
The blockbuster rematch between heavyweight champion Usyk and former champion Fury goes down Saturday, Dec. 21 at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Usyk seeks to defend his WBA, WBO, WBC and IBO heavyweight titles against Fury after previously defeating Fury via split decision in May to become boxing’s first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 2000 and the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the current four-belt era.
Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) and Fury (34-1-1) combined for a Fight of the Year contender in their first battle, after which Usyk was forced to vacate his IBF title in order to rematch Fury.
Usyk, 37, is currently listed as a -160 betting favorite to defeat Fury, 36, again, while the Englishman is listed as a +125 underdog, per BetMGM sportsbook.
The Usyk-Fury 2 fight card begins Saturday at 10 a.m. ET and airs live on DAZN pay-per-view for $39.99.
Uncrowned will have live round-by-round coverage of the entire card.
Usyk is also an undisputed cruiserweight champion and is the first boxer to become the undisputed champion in both divisions since Evander Holyfield beat Buster Douglas in 1990.
Fury has beaten a who’s who of heavyweight boxing since first capturing the belts with a victory over Wladimir Klitschko in 2015, including wins over Deontay Wilder, Dillian Whyte and Derek Chisora.
