Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk: Time and where to watch Gypsy King face the Ukrainian Cat

Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury square off for the undisputed world heavyweight title which is one of the biggest fights in a long time.

Earlier this year, the "Gipsy King" had to postpone their scheduled February 17 encounter due to a "freak" gash above his eye that he received during a fight.

After that, it was swiftly rescheduled for May and a rematch clause ensures that the two will face each other again regardless of the outcome.

Fury defends his WBC heavyweight title against Usyk's WBA, IBF, IBO, and The Ring heavyweight titles.

One of the most accomplished heavyweight champions in recent memory, Fury recently faced Francis Ngannou, the lineal MMA heavyweight champion, and had a lacklustre performance.

Despite his poor performance against Ngannou, he was still named the winner of the fight split decision victory. He now faces a considerably more experienced opponent in Usyk.

Boxer Usyk won the gold medal at the 2012 Olympics. His dominance began when he went pro in 2013, making him the first undisputed cruiserweight champion of the four-belt era.

After that, Usyk advanced to heavyweight, where he defeated Anthony Joshua twice to win the belts he currently holds. 

Most recently, in August of last year, Usyk successfully defended his titles by knocking out Daniel Dubois in the ninth round.

On Saturday, May 18, Fury and Usyk will face off in a 12-round heavyweight fight in Saudi Arabia, as reported by Sky Sports.

The fight will happen in Saudi Arabia's Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, the same venue that hosted the heavyweight fight between Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou In March 2024.

It is anticipated that the undercard will begin at 6 pm Nigerian time and UK time before the main fight.

The main event's ring walks have been scheduled for 11 pm, Nigerian time and will be shown on DSTV cable network, Supersport.

The winner will be crowned as the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 2000.
