This Saturday, Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury will step back into the ring for one of the biggest rematches in boxing. The fight will happen at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, bringing a thrilling end to the 2024 boxing year.
Earlier this year, Usyk shocked everyone when he defeated Fury in a close fight. It was Fury’s first-ever loss, and many were surprised by how Usyk managed to win despite Fury being bigger and taller. Usyk showed his quick moves and strong punches, proving he is one of the best. Now, Fury has a chance to win back his belt, but this time, it will not be for the undisputed title because Usyk no longer holds the IBF belt.
