Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk should be boxing’s next great superfight – and it should also crown the sport’s first undisputed world heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis way back in 1999.
Both men have signed for a megafight to take place in Saudi Arabia in the coming months, with all of their belts on the line.
Fury (34-0-1) is the reigning lineal and WBC heavyweight champion, while Usyk (21-0) is the IBF, WBA, WBO and Ring magazine king.

When will Fury vs Usyk happen?
At last, we have a confirmed date. Fury vs Usyk WILL take place on Saturday February 17, 2024. It will go down in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Is Fury better than Usyk?
Really good question, and a very difficult one to answer.
The bookmakers clearly believe Fury has a slight edge – the betting odds prove that. He will undoubtedly have a massive size advantage on the night – possibly around 60lbs in weight or more than four stones.
In terms of their fighting records, Fury’s signature wins have come against Wladimir Klitschko and Deontay Wilder, while Usyk was utterly dominant in the amateurs and then at cruiserweight as a pro. Usyk’s signature wins at heavy have been those two decision victories over Anthony Joshua.
