Fighter history
The current WBC and lineal heavyweight champion Fury is coming off a subpar outing against UFC star Francis Ngannou last October. Despite being knocked down early, “Gypsy King” managed to escape with the split decision victory. Fury will try to replicate his 2015 win over Wladimir Klitschko, in which he won unified heavyweight status.
Usyk recently defeated Daniel Dubois by way of 8th-round KO last June. The former unified cruiserweight champion, defeated Anthony Joshua in September 2021 to become unified heavyweight titleholder. He now looks to add yet another belt to his collection and achieve undisputed status.
At last, two of the biggest heavyweights in the sport will meet. This fight was originally set for February 2024, until Fury suffered a severe cut near his eye during pre-fight training camp.
