Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk: When is the fight, how to watch and the undercard line-up

Tyson Fury fights Oleksandr Usyk in an undisputed world heavyweight title bout tomorrow night and says he is unconcerned by his legacy as a fighter.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with Telegraph Sport, Fury said: “I’m not too concerned about what people are going to be saying in 100 years. The dust from our bones won’t exist in 100 years, never mind what they say about a boxing match in 100 years.”

When is Fury v Usyk?
The undisputed heavyweight clash between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will take place on Saturday. The ring walks are expected at around 11pm (BST). 

The much-hyped encounter had originally been due to take place in Saudi Arabia in February but was postponed after the Briton suffered a “freak cut” above the eye in training.


At a media event on Monday, John Fury, Tyson’s father, headbutted a member of Usyk’s entourage. On Thursday the two fighters came face-to-face at a press conference – or would have done had Tyson Fury not refused to face-off with his Ukrainian opponent. 

The the weigh-in is at 6pm UK time on Friday. 

Where is the fight being held?
The bout will be in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. Both teams flew into Saudi Arabia earlier this month to begin the build-up to the fight.

Where to watch Fury vs Usyk in the UK?
The fight will be available in the UK via DAZN, Sky Sports and TNT Sports.

The cost will be £24.95 via Sky Sports Box Office; or £24.99 for new DAZN customers (that price also includes a month’s subscription to the streaming service). It will cost £23.99 for existing customers. TNT Sports Box Office will charge viewers £24.99 to watch the fight.

Is Fury vs Usyk on the radio?
No. The BBC have been unable to secure the radio broadcast rights despite flying out to Saudi Arabia to try and do so. Talksport is also unable to broadcast the bout, owing to a long-running dispute with Fury’s camp. As a result, the fight will not be broadcast on the radio in the UK. 

What’s at stake?
Most significantly, boxing will have an undisputed heavyweight champion for the first time since Lennox Lewis beat Evander Holyfield in Las Vegas 25 years ago. 

Speaking to Telegraph Sport, Lewis explained why it has taken so long to get an undisputed match-up back on the agenda and why there was so little trash talking back in his day.
