Frank Warren spends £630,000 at auction to acquire a one-of-a-kind ‘Ring of Fire’ watch commemorating Oleksandr Usyk’s undisputed heavyweight title bout against Tyson Fury.

Legendary boxing promoter Frank Warren secured a custom luxury watch commemorating Oleksandr Usyk’s victory over Tyson Fury in their undisputed heavyweight title fight. The Ukrainian triumphed in a thrilling showdown on Saturday night in Saudi Arabia, clinching victory via split decision with judges scoring the bout 115-112, 113-114, 114-113.

This win made Usyk the first boxer since Lennox Lewis in 1999 to unify the heavyweight division, as he claimed the WBC title from Fury, adding to his collection of WBA (Super), WBO, IBF, and IBO titles. To honor this historic occasion, dubbed the ‘Ring of Fire,’ watchmakers Jacob & Co., in collaboration with design studio Big Time Creative Shop—owned by the General Entertainment Authority, a Saudi government department—crafted unique timepieces for each fighter.

Furthermore, a third bespoke watch was auctioned by Sotheby’s to support Make-A-Wish International, an international children’s charity granting wishes to critically ill children.
