Ready, Set, Rematch!
In late May, just two weeks after Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk went glove-to-glove in the ring during the Undisputed: Ring of Fire title match, His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority (GEA) announced that the two sportsmen would once again battle it out in a rematch.
May's Undisputed: Ring of Fire boxing match between Riyadh ring regular Tyson Fury, and Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk, resulted in Fury's first title bout loss, but marked another notch in the belt of consistent wins for Usyk. Oleksandr Usyk was declared winner by judge's decision after an intense nine rounds, including a significant stumble from Fury.
In the end it was 37-year old Usyk who became the first undisputed champion of four belts including WBC, WBA, WBO and IFF categories. The Ukrainian has won all 22 of his professional fights.
Now the time has (almost) arrived where Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will meet once again, and the title of Heavyweight Champion of the World will officially be up for grabs once again. And tickets are officially on sale!
