Share:
Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk meet for round 13 - and beyond - tonight, seven months after the Brit was beaten for the first time. Usyk became the first undisputed heavyweight world champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999 when he outpointed Fury in May. And he came within seconds of stopping Fury in the ninth round as he turned the tide on a fight which had been heading in his rival's direction.
He will start as the favourite this evening with Fury having it all to do to prove he is the best heavyweight of his generation - and one of the best ever. There is also plenty of action on the undercard, including two British rising stars in the same division in Johnny Fisher and Moses Itauma. Here is everything you need to know about tonight's fights...
Tyson Fury's second meeting with Oleksandr Usyk will be broadcast live and FREE on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds tonight. Mark Chapman will present the broadcaster's coverage while commentary will be led by Ronald McIntosh with retired world champion George Groves and former WBA lightweight champion Anthony Crolla providing analysis.
Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are expected to fight at around 10.30pm UK time tonight. That will be 1.30am local time in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The exact fight time could depend on how long the undercard takes to complete with several 12-round bouts taking place earlier in the evening.
