BREAKING. New date for Fury vs Usyk championship fight have been announced

The new date for the bout between WBA, WBO, IBO, and IBF heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) and WBC titleholder Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) has been announced.

Queensberry Promotions, the organizer of the fight, stated that the clash between the British and Ukrainian fighters is scheduled for May 18.

Originally, the bout was set to take place on February 17 in Riyadh but was postponed due to an injury sustained by Fury during a training sparring session. The event organizer, Riyadh Season Boxing's Turki Alalshikh, decided to reschedule the entire show, which was supposed to feature this mega-fight.

In their most recent bouts, Usyk defeated Daniel Dubois in August, while Fury narrowly defeated Francis Ngannou in October.
