Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury 2: Fight card, date, time, live streaming & more

Oleksandr Usyk & Tyson Fury will again go face-to-face

Oleksandr Usyk defeated Tyson Fury by a split decision in May, becoming the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999, and the first in the four-belt era. Fury appeared to be in control of the bout at the halfway stage until Usyk made a spectacular breakthrough.

In an exciting ninth round, the Ukrainian threatened to stop ‘The Gypsy King’, prompting the referee to call a count after determining that only the ropes had kept Fury on his feet. Usyk ultimately won a high-caliber heavyweight fight by split decision.

Seven months after their blockbuster heavyweight clash, Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury are gearing up for an epic rematch!

On the other side, Usyk is an undefeated Olympic gold medallist from Ukraine. The 37-year-old stands 6’3” and boasts a perfect record of 22 wins (14 by knockout). Beyond boxing, Usyk has spent time on patrol at home during Russia’s war on Ukraine, adding to his remarkable story.
