What to know about the fight
The ‘Gypsy King’ is looking to become the first undisputed champion in boxing’s blue-riband division in over 24 years. This title was last attained by fellow Brit Lennox Lewis when he defeated Evander Holyfield in 1999.
Even though both boxers are undefeated, Fury backs himself to beat the Ukrainian.
When speaking at a press conference, Fury explained: “I’m very confident in my ability and I’m very confident I’ll beat the guy. When the cruiserweights step up to the big boys, usually they get found wanting.”
Usyk was previously the undisputed champion at cruiserweight level. However, only five of his 21 wins have been as a heavyweight. On the other hand, Fury has had 34 wins during his career – and just one draw with Deontay Wilder, back in 2018.
But Usyk responded by declaring: “I will speak in the ring. Every time Tyson Fury speaks a lot. For me it doesn’t matter.”
