Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk exact ring walk time and fight start in UK

The countdown is nearly over as Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk finally do battle to unify the world heavyweight division in Saudi Arabia tonight.

This world title fight has been years in the making and has had several false dawns. Most recently, Fury and Usyk were set to clash in February but this was postponed at short notice after the Wythenshawe boxer gained a cut above his eye during camp.

However, both men have managed to regroup and the fight tonight is on with Fury showing no ill effects from that injury earlier in the year. Tonight's pay-per-view will begin at 6pm local time (4pm in the UK) but we can expect the main event much later in the evening.

MEN Sport has taken a closer look at when you can expect the fighters to be walking to the ring at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh.

Both fighters are expected to be walking to the ring at any time after 1am local time (11pm in the UK). However, this time is not set in stone and will depend on what happens earlier in the night on the undercard.

In total, there are seven fights coming on before Fury and Usyk enter the ring. Among them is Jai Opetaia and Mairis Briedis facing off for the vacant IBF cruiserweight title and Mark Chamberlain taking on Joshua Oluwaseun Wahab.

Should the undercard go according to schedule, we can expect the bout to begin shortly after 11:05pm but considering Fury loves to make an entrance, do not be surprised if the fight begins later than that.

Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are set to lock horns in a huge clash this month with each fighter attempting to etch their names in boxing history as the first undisputed heavyweight champion since 1999. The stakes couldn't
