It’s fight week, and we will have an undisputed heavyweight champion, barring a draw on Saturday night. WBC & Lineal champion Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) will take on unified champion Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) live on PPV from the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Fans thought this matchup would never happen because of their larger-than-life egos, but here we are, as the Saudis have paid both men enough to finally come together.
Fury has only had one fight in 2023, and that was the very shaky performance against Francis Ngannou in October, where he squeezed out a split decision after being knocked down by Ngannou. Apparently, it was the wake-up call he needed as Fury has trimmed down considerably and looks to be in the best shape he has been in a long time. Can this focused version of Fury beat Usyk?

Like Fury, Usyk had only one fight last year, and that was the ninth-round stoppage of Daniel Dubois, which was also where the controversial low blow/no knockdown incident took place. That and the slippery canvas due to the rain made it a challenge for the unified champ. Usyk looked a little vulnerable, but the fight against Fury is the one he has been waiting for, so expect the best version of him on Saturday.
