Former WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury will be in the role of a challenger, taking on unified champ Oleksandr Usyk tonight in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The Usyk-Fury 2 event begins at 11 am / 4 pm UK and will be live on DAZN PPV.
Fury vs. Usyk 2 will be fighting at approximately 6 pm. ET. This is Fury’s big chance to avenge his loss and punch his ticket for a trilogy match with Usyk in 2025. There’s a lot of money for both fighters to make in a third fight, but it won’t happen unless the ‘Gypsy King’ wins tonight.
The promoters and almost everyone are rooting for Fury to win. Even Turki Alalshikh hopes Tyson can pull out the win. He means big business, and if Fury gets the win tonight, they can make a lot of money.

Former WBA junior middleweight champion Madrimov withdrew due to illness, leaving Bohachuk with non-world-level fighter Ishmael Davis.
Bohachuk-Davis is at the #3 spot on the card, surprisingly below the heavyweight clash between fringe contender Moses Itauma and Demsey McKean. Itauma, 19, is promoted by Frank Warren, who also promotes Fury. So, having him in the chief support makes sense from that standpoint.
