Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury with square off to unite the heavyweight championship belts in Saudi Arabia this weekend. Here’s how to watch.
Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk is finally here. This fight has been brewing since Usyk took Anthony Joshua’s belts in 2021, but rematches, injuries, and money talks have delayed the fight for years. But it’s officially here, and if you aren’t sufficiently hyped up, let’s break down why this is so important.
The winner of this fight will be the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis won the title from Evander Holyfield in 1999. Lewis was stripped of one of his belts after declining a mandatory fight, and no one has collected them all since. A big part of that is because of the Klitschko brothers, Vitali and Wladimir, who split the titles between them for over a decade and refused to fight each other out of brotherly love.
There has never been an undisputed heavyweight champion in the Four Belt Era. Fury won three of the belts when he defeated Wladimir Klitschko in 2015.
