By The about-to-be-majestic battle between the unified heavyweight champions Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk for the titles of an undisputed heavyweight titles is back after the 33-year-old fury’s recent injury.
A big cut over the right eye of Fury was received during his sparring, so it called for the fight on February 17 to be postponed. This would not only affect the fans who were eagerly waiting for the cageside of the fight but also the organizers and promoters.
Usyk who chose to be with his family only at the birth of his child as opposed to devoting all his energy to becoming a world champion has to work with a new training camp since the fight is rescheduled.
Fury defends the WBC belt, rendering Usyk’s WBA, WBO, IBF, and Ring Magazine belts the only ones to represent the undisputed heavyweight champion status. This definitely calls for an ultimate showdown of these two champions.
Fates of the two athletes have crossed in the past 18 months, dating back to Usyk’s win in 2022 amid the long-term rivalry.
However, a close call with Francis Ngannou’s loss does not prevent Fury from being a tough contender, who, by defeating the former heavyweight champion, shows his willpower.
While a win for Fury will open the road for another highly anticipated fight between the other British star Anthony Joshua who will face Fury in March, Joshua has not yet announced the battleplans for the future.
Recitals of Fury vs Usyk fight have been ultimately rescheduled and it will be live on air on Saturday, May 18th, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. According to three-month recuperation, organizers feel more confident in holding the competition with no interruptions. On the other hand, in the event of any further damage to the opponent, the opposing fighter will return the fee of 7.9 million pounds.
Fans should expect the opening ring-walks to begin by about 11 pm BST(Britain Summer Time), and the main card action to start from 6pm BST. After a long time, the fans of boxing are looking forward to the stunning night that will become history.
