It’s been a long time coming, but the Tyson Fury versus Oleksandr Usyk showdown is finally here and boxing is set to crown its first undisputed heavyweight champion for nearly a quarter of a century. It’s a PPV in the majority of countries apart from Ukraine, where it is available as part of a Megogo 14-day trial. Below, we’ll explain below how to watch Fury vs Osyk live streams from where you are today.
Fury vs Usyk preview
Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk have proved themselves to be the cream of the heavyweight crop over the last few years, and their meeting today at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh to decide the first undisputed champ since Lennox Lewis has been long awaited.
It seems a lifetime ago that Fury shocked the world to defeat Wladimir Klitschko and become a world champion for the first time. Since then he has retired, unretired, completed fight trilogies with Deontay Wilder and Derek Chisora, battled his demons and generally entertained as the self-proclaimed Gypsy King.
Overcoming Usyk today will be his toughest challenge yet. Yes, the Ukrainian cedes a 7-inch reach and half a foot in height to the giant Fury, but he has shown that his skill and speed can be way too much for bigger men to handle. He schooled Anthony Joshua over two fights to take his WBA, IBF and WBO titles having stepped up from his more natural cruiserweight.
In this guide, you’ll discover all you need to know to watch Fury vs Usyk live streams, no matter where in the world you are this weekend. We also have information on all the PPV prices around the globe, start time, Saturday’s full card and more.
Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk news
After a sedate press conference of very few words, Friday saw tempers flare at the weigh-in. As is customary, the two fighters went nose to nose as they squared off. But words were exchanged and Fury ended up pushing his opponent, resulting in the men having to be held back by their entourage. Suddenly it feels like there’s some needle between the Brit and Ukrainian, which should help the PPV purchases come rolling in for Saturday night!
Away from the theatrics, there was the main business of the weigh-in. The scales showed Fury at 18st 7lb and Usyk at 16st 6lb. For Fury, who many pundits had noted looked slimmer than in previous fights, it’s the lightest he’s been for four years. While Usyk goes into Saturday’s fight the heaviest he’s ever been for a professional bout. Two stone is still a huge disparity, which only adds to the fascination of the fight.
