Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury are set to run it back following their historic undisputed heavyweight championship fight earlier this year.
In May, the Ukrainian came out on top via split decision to take all four belts and hand Fury his first professional loss. The fight delivered on all counts, with back and forth action, blood, sweat and edge-of-your-seat moments. As per the contract, Fury had the option to force a rematch and didn’t wait around to do so.
They will meet again on December 21 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, this time for just three of the four major belts after Usyk vacated the IBF and it was awarded to Daniel Dubois.
There are some big British names propping up the main event, including widely-regarded future heavyweight ruler Moses Itauma in a big step up against southpaw Demsey McKean. Johnny Fisher faces fan-favourite Dave Allen in another battle of the big men.
Chief support is former super-welterweight champion Israil Madrimov attempting to bounce back from defeat to Terence Crawford against Usyk’s countryman Serhii Bohachuk. The card also features two more intriguing all-British affairs – Dennis McCann versus Peter McGrail and Isaac Lowe facing Lee McGregor.
