Boxing tonight: Ring walk times, live stream details and TV channel for Fury vs Usyk 2
Tyson Fury is seeking to settle the score with Oleksandr Usyk in their second fight of the year this Saturday.
The 'Gypsy King', with a record of 34-1-1, suffered his first professional defeat at the hands of Usyk in May. The undefeated Ukrainian boxer improved his own record to 22-0 with a split-decision victory after 12 rounds. Consequently, Usyk seized Fury's WBC championship, becoming the first undisputed heavyweight boxing champion since Lennox Lewis over two decades ago - also holding the WBA (Super), WBO, IBF and IBO belts at the time.
It marked the first blemish in Fury's impressive career, which began in 2008 and saw him dominate the heavyweight division with relative ease. The 36-year-old has defeated a list of top contenders at over 200lbs, including Wladimir Klitschko, Deontay Wilder, Dillian Whyte, Derek Chisora and Francis Ngannou.

However, he was unable to triumph over long-time rival Usyk at the Kingdom Arena in May, and will be keen to secure a win for the sake of his legacy this weekend. Born in Simferopol, Usyk started his own boxing career in 2013 in the slightly lighter cruiserweight division, capturing his first world title - the WBO belt - just ten fights in, thanks to a unanimous decision win over Krzysztof Glowacki in 2016, reports the Daily Record.
Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are set to lock horns again on December 21 with the Brit attempting to avenge his defeat by the Ukrainian in May. Victory for Fury could also set up a huge domestic showdown with bitter rival Anthony Joshua next year
