An historic undisputed heavyweight title bout between WBC champion Tyson Fury and WBA, WBO and IBF champion Oleksandr Usyk has been signed and will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
“Delighted to finally get this fight signed,” Queensbury promoter Frank Warren said . “This is the biggest fight that could possibly be made in our sport.”
The fight date is yet to be announced, but the bout is reportedly targeted for December 23.
The winner between the two rivals will make history as the first undisputed heavyweight champion in the four-belt era.
However, Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fury must first come through a non-title fight against former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou uninjured on October 28. The undefeated heavyweight last defeated Derek Chisora in December 2022 via a tenth-round TKO.
The undefeated Ukranian former cruiserweightchampion, Oleksandr Usyk, comes from a knockout win against Daniel Dubois on August 26 in Wroclaw, Poland.
