"The heavyweights always spark the imagination of the fans, and I have no doubt this will be the biggest boxing event of the century." The fight will take place at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia as part of the city's 'entertainment season' but no official date has yet been set.

Fury will be opening the season himself on Saturday, October 28 when he battles UFC champion Francis Ngannou in a bout which many are expecting the 35-year-old Wythenshawe boxer to win comfortably. For boxing fans, the fight with Usyk is one which has been talked about continuously as both men teased facing each other.

Speaking to the Daily Mail about Usyk previously, Fury expressed little interest in fighting the WBO, WBA and IBF champion. "I am not interested in fighting Usyk. He's a little Ukrainian dosser," he said.

"That's all he is to me. No interest in unifying the division. It doesn't mean s*** to me.

"All that stuff about unifying and whatever, it really doesn't mean anything to me. I am looking for the biggest payday. Most of the time, Usyk doesn't cut it."
