IS THIS FURY'S LAST CHANCE TO BE CHAMPION?

Tyson Fury is set to face Oleksandr Usyk in a highly anticipated rematch on December 21, 2024, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This epic showdown comes after their thrilling first encounter in May, where Usyk overcame an early deficit to claim victory and multiple heavyweight titles.

Despite earlier talks of an all-British megafight with Anthony Joshua, Fury's focus is now on reclaiming his titles from Usyk. The rematch won't be for the undisputed heavyweight title, as Usyk has vacated the IBF belt, now held by Daniel Dubois. However, the WBC, WBA, WBO, and The Ring magazine titles will still be on the line, making this bout one of the most significant in recent heavyweight history.

Fury, who lost his WBC title to Usyk in their previous encounter, is eager to get back on top. The fight will be broadcast on ESPN+ as a PPV in the United States, and in the UK, fans can watch it on Sky Sports Box Office, TNT Sports Box Office, and DAZN PPV.

As for the long-awaited Fury vs. Joshua fight, there's still hope. If Joshua defeats Dubois in September and Fury wins his rematch against Usyk, the stage could be set for an all-British unification match as early as March 2025. But for now, Fury's focus is on getting his revenge against Usyk.
