OFFICIAL. The date of the fight between Fury and Usyk has been announced

The fight for the title of absolute world champion between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will take place on 17 February 2024.

The fight will take place in Saudi Arabia. All four championship belts will be at stake: three (WBA, WBO and IBF) held by Usyk, as well as Fury's WBC title.

The fight will determine the first ever absolute world heavyweight champion in the era of four major organisations: Oleksandr holds the WBA, WBO and IBF belts, while Tyson holds the WBC title.

Usyk (21-0-0, 14 KOs) and Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) remain undefeated in the professional ring. The Briton has only once drawn a fight - in December 2018, when the American Deontay Wilder retained the WBC belt.
