Today, Saturday, December 21, 2024, Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury will rematch live on DAZN pay-per-view (PPV) from Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In May of this year, Usyk defeated Fury by split decision in their first fight for the undisputed Heavyweight title.
Usyk rose to the ranks as one of the best big men in the game after a decade of dominance, taking on and beating some of the best, and his win over Fury made him undisputed king. When you pair his victory over “Gypsy King” with a couple of victories over Anthony Joshua, he has all the right to strut around. But he is still as humble as they come in the boxing world, and another win over Fury will not change that. What it will do, however, is elevate his stock even further and leave zero doubt that he is the best Heavyweight boxer in the world. That said, that could leave him wondering just how many other big fights around the corner should he get win again. For Fury, not only is this is chance at revenge, it will give him the opportunity to show the naysayers that he is far from done. A loss, however, leaves him at a major crossroad in his boxing career.
