Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk fight time: UK ring walks and TV channel

Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are just hours away from their long-anticipated face-off in the ring.

The heavyweight adversaries have been on a collision course for over a year, initially scheduled to clash at Wembley last April. However, terms could not be agreed upon then, and the fight was postponed until two days before Christmas, only for Fury's intense bout with Francis Ngannou to throw a wrench into the plans.

Fury and Usyk agreed to reschedule their encounter for February 17, but the Brit suffered a cut above his eye during one of his final sparring sessions. A new date was swiftly set, and both men are now in Saudi Arabia preparing for Saturday night's showdown, reports the Mirror.

Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are expected to enter the ring around 11pm UK time on Saturday night, which is 1am in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
