Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk clash again as the Brit seeks revenge – and heavyweight gold.

Usyk narrowly defeated Fury in May to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion in 24 years. The Ukrainian remained undefeated and handed Fury his first professional defeat.

The 37-year-old Usyk then lost the IBF title, meaning only three of the four major belts are at stake this time. But Fury, 36, will still be highly motivated to avenge his defeat, especially after Usyk almost stopped the ‘Gypsy King’ in round nine.

Next weekend the heavyweights return to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where they competed against each other for the first time, as fans expect another close fight.
