February date confirmed for Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk showdown
Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will finally clash in the Saudi Arabian capital Riyadh on 17 February, organisers have announced.
The heavyweight rivals were expected to meet on 23 December only for Fury's disappointing performance in a split-decision victory over MMA star Francis Ngannou last month to force a delay.
Fury's WBC belt and the WBA, IBF and WBO titles held by Usyk will be on the line with the winner crowned the division's first undisputed champion since Lennox Lewis in 2000.
