Fury vs Usyk LIVE - Start time, undercard, TV channel, how to watch stream and updates

Tyson Fury takes a step towards boxing immortality this evening with the Brit aiming to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis secured all four major titles in 1999.

Fury, from Wythenshawe, finally goes toe-to-toe with the Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk after February’s fight was cancelled due to an injury the Gypsy King sustained in sparring.

But it’s all systems go for Saturday night in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in one of the biggest bouts in recent memory.

Current WBC heavyweight champion Fury boasts 34 wins, 24 knockouts, and one draw that came against Deontay Wilder in 2018.

Usyk’s record is equally impressive - a flawless 21 victories has seen him become the holder of the WBA, IBF and WBO titles.
