Tyson Fury: record, next fight and profile →


Amid the fervent anticipation and hype surrounding Saturday’s undisputed heavyweight championship between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury, the ultimate high stakes loom in their guaranteed mid-October rematch.




Oleksandr Usyk weighed in at a career-heaviest 223.5 pounds for Saturday’s undisputed heavyweight title fight against Tyson Fury.

They are the two best heavyweights in the world. Neither man has ever lost a fight as a pro. That doesn’t mean Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk had an easy path to get here.

“God bless him,” Tyson Fury responded when asked if he had “one last message” for his opponent Oleksandr Usyk (despite the fact that they will speak again at Friday’s weigh-in and in the hours before they fight).

His former sparring partner Agit Kabayel believes Tyson Fury has “everything” he needs to triumph on Saturday over Oleksandr Usyk.

Tyson Fury will face Oleksandr Usyk this Saturday in a crowning of the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis more than 25 years ago. Usyk has the chance to etch his name in the history books and become a two-weight undisputed champion, after he achieved the honor at cruiserweight in 2018. Fury may be fighting for undisputed for the first time, but this is not his first encounter with a former cruiserweight champion. The WBC titlist made his U.S. debut against former IBF beltholder Steve Cunningham back in 2013 – and was given the fight of his life.
