On December 21, we are set for the second chapter of the heavyweight showdown between reigning champion Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury. Dailysports has compiled all the essential details about this highly anticipated rematch.
Will the winner of the rematch be the undisputed champion?
No. Due to delays in the first fight (originally scheduled for December but postponed to May due to Fury's injury), Usyk was unable to defend his IBF title in time. The organization stripped the Ukrainian of the belt and sanctioned a fight between Daniel Dubois and Filip Hrgović for the vacant title, which was won by Dubois.
What titles will be on the line?
The fight will feature Usyk's WBA, IBO, WBC, and The Ring titles. However, as previously mentioned, the winner of the rematch will not be crowned the undisputed champion.
When and where will Usyk vs Fury II take place?
The fight is scheduled for Saturday, December 21, at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia—the same venue as their first bout. The undercard begins at 17:00 CET, with the main event between Usyk and Fury expected to start around midnight CET on December 22.
