In the red corner, we have Oleksandr Usyk, bringing an impressive record of 22 wins with 14 knockouts. The Ukrainian fighter is famous for his technical prowess, exceptional footwork, and precision in the ring.

Opposing him is Tyson Fury, standing tall at 6’9″ with an 85″ reach, and a record of 34 wins, 1 loss, and 1 draw — 24 of those victories coming by knockout. Known for his unpredictable movements and immense punching power, Fury is out for redemption after his previous loss to Usyk. This rematch represents a chance for Fury to reclaim his supremacy in the heavyweight division.
The upcoming event boasts an exciting undercard featuring compelling matchups: Serhii Bohachuk vs. Ishmael Davis in the light middleweight category, Moses Itauma facing Demsey McKean in heavyweight, and a clash between Johnny Fisher and Dave Allen. Additionally, Isaac Lowe will take on Lee McGregor in an enticing featherweight encounter. This card promises action-packed bouts leading up to the main event.

Furthermore, a seven-day free trial is included with the PPV purchase, allowing fans to dive into DAZN’s extensive content, encompassing other sports such as Matchroom Boxing and PGA Tour.
