Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Fury 2 live results, round-by-round updates, ring walks, start time for heavyweight title rematch

Uncrowned has Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Fury 2 results, live round-by-round updates, ring walks, start time and highlights for the Usyk vs. Fury 2 fight card on Saturday night at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Oleksandr Usyk defends his WBA, WBC and WBO heavyweight titles against former champion Tyson Fury in a highly-anticipated rematch in the night’s main event.

Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) edged a split decision over Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) to win the undisputed heavyweight title in May. The Ukrainian became the first fighter of boxing’s modern four-belt era to hold all four heavyweight belts, and in the process became a two-division undisputed champion.

Usyk was forced to give up his IBF strap because he was contracted to rematch Fury and could not face the IBF mandatory challenger, Daniel Dubois. The Ukrainian is nonetheless one of boxing’s best pound-for-pound fighters. Since capturing the undisputed cruiserweight title in 2018, Usyk has continued to post one of the best résumés in the sport, defeating Anthony Joshua (x2), Dubois, Derek Chisora, and Tony Bellew, alongside Fury. Six out of Usyk’s past seven opponents have hailed from the U.K.

Fury first won the heavyweight championship when he upset another Ukrainian, Wladimir Klitschko, in 2015 for the WBA, IBF and WBO belts. Unfortunately for him, his reign was short-lived due to his well-documented problems outside of the ring, and he was forced to relinquish those titles in 2016.

Fury eventually returned to boxing two years later and became a two-time champion after stopping Deontay Wilder for the WBC belt in 2020. The Brit then made three successful defenses of the WBC title before losing it to Usyk. Now he looks to become a three-time heavyweight champion on Saturday night and join an exclusive list of fighters that includes Muhammad Ali, Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield.

Usyk vs. Fury 2 begins at 11 a.m. ET on DAZN pay-per-view, with the main event ring walks expected around 5:30 p.m. ET.
