Tyson Fury will fight Oleksandr Usyk for the right to become undisputed heavyweight world champion

Tyson Fury will take on Oleksandr Usyk for the right to become undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.

Fury, who is the current WBC world champion, faces Usyk, who holds the WBA, IBF and WBO belts, as both men look to become the first undisputed heavyweight world champion since Lennox Lewis.

The fight, which is arguably the biggest boxing event of the year, was originally slated for February, was postponed after Fury, 35, suffered a freak eye injury in training.

But it is back on now, and the British fighter will be keen to answer his critics after a lackluster showing against former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou last time out.

Usyk, too, has some critics to answer, after a controversial stoppage win over Daniel Dubois in his last fight.

Usyk, 37, went down after a Dubois body shot was deemed to be below the belt, although replays weren’t conclusive. Dubois’ camp felt it was a legitimate stoppage and their charge should have been crowned world champion.

Nonetheless, Usyk fought back to earn a ninth round stoppage win and he is looking to become the third fighter to become undisputed world champion at two different weights, having already achieved the feat at cruiserweight.

The two fighters will put their unbeaten records on the line and here is all you need to know about Fury vs Usyk.
