Tyson Fury battles Oleksandr Usyk in a heavyweight world title fight rematch this month.
The Gypsy King was handed a first defeat by the Ukrainian, who became the division’s first undisputed champion since Lennox Lewis in 2000.
His reign as the undisputed champion did not last long though, with Usyk opting to drop the IBF belt, with Daniel Dubois installed as the new champion and retaining the title against Anthony Joshua with a crushing fifth-round knockout at Wembley Stadium.
Fury, who was seemingly disappointed after “AJ” was knocked out, now has the opportunity for revenge on what promises to be a packed card. The fight will not be for the undisputed title, but Usyk can protect his status as the No 1 in the division and one of the true pound-by-pound superstars in the sport.
