And in a bout fit for that mantle, Fury and Usyk played out a thrilling battle with both fighters in control and also struggling at various points in the fight.

Usyk started on top before showboating Fury won the middle rounds and appeared to be well on top.

However, a brutal ninth-round volley saw Usyk badly rock Fury and swing momentum back his way by forcing a standing eight count.

With four major world titles up for grabs, both men gave it their all in one of the best fights in memory.

It went to the judges with the fight ending in a controversial split decision going in the Ukrainian’s favour – 115-112, 114-15, 114-113.

Now, seven months later, they brace to do it all over again back in Riyadh, and Fury has weighed in at a career heaviest.

But the IBF belt will not be at stake this time as Usyk was forced to vacate it to proceed with the contracted re-run.

TYSON FURY VS OLEKSANDR USYK 2 TIPS AND ODDS

When is Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk rematch taking place?

Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk 2 is taking place TONIGHT – Saturday, December 21.

The Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia is hosting the big fight.

The ring walks are expected at a slightly earlier time of 10pm BST – this is 1am local time.

What happened at the weigh in?

Wearing several layer of clothing, Tyson Fury weighed in at a career heaviest 282lbs – 20lbs heavier than in the first fight between the pair.

While Usyk tipped the scales at 226lbs, that’s only slightly heavier than the 223.5lbs last time out.

However just like Fury, Usyk weighed in fully clothed.

There was only a very brief stare off, nothing like the ELEVEN-minute showdown from the night before at the press conference.

What channel will the fight be on?

• DAZN PPV, TNT Sports Box Office and Sky Sports Box Office will all be broadcasting Usyk vs Fury once again.
• The cost to purchase the PPV on TNT and DAZN is £24.99, while the event is priced at £24.95 on Sky Sports.
• Usyk vs Fury 2 on TNT Sports Box Office can be watched on discovery+, EE TV, Virgin Media TV and Prime Video.
• You do not need to be a TNT Sports subscriber to buy this event.

Who are the trainers?

Fury is coached by Sugarhill Steward – nephew to the legendary trainer Emanuel – with former world champ Andy Lee assistant.

And there is NO room for Fury’s dad John, who came under-fire for his advice in the corner in May.

Usyk’s head coach, meanwhile, is Yurii Ivanovich Tkachenko.

Will all heavyweight titles be on the line in the rematch?

This time round, however, it will NOT be an undisputed heavyweight title fight.

This is because Usyk vacated the IBF title following his win so the mandatories for the belt could get their shot.

Daniel Dubois was upgraded to the IBF heavyweight champion, and has since defended it in dominant fashion – knocking out Anthony Joshua at Wembley Stadium in front of a British record 96,000 crowd.

So it is only Usyk’s WBA, WBC and WBO heavyweight titles up for grabs.

Fury vs Usyk full card

As well as Fury’s rematch with Usyk, there are seven other fights on the card.

Israil Madrimov, who narrowly lost to Terence Crawford in August, takes on Serhii Bohachuk.

Brit heavyweights Moses Itauma and Johnny Fisher face challenges in Demsey McKean and Dave Allen respectively.

The undercard gets underway from 4pm GMT.
