Fury vs Usyk: A clash of titans rescheduled for Riyadh showdown
On May 18, Tyson Fury and Ołeksandr Usyk will face off in Riyadh in one of the most talked-about boxing matches of the 21st century. A few days before the clash, the Brit posted a photo on Instagram proving he had not neglected the preparatory period.
Usyk and Fury's fight has been a hot topic for years, yet financial disagreements prevented it from happening until now. It's crucial to note that both the Ukrainian and the Brit are champions of the most prestigious boxing organizations, making their upcoming fight a title for the undisputed heavyweight champion.
The face-off, initially scheduled for February 17, was pushed to May 18. Two weeks ahead of the original date, Fury revealed that he had sustained a deep cut above the eye during a sparring session, necessitating the delay.
Just days before the match, Fury shared his physical condition with his followers. He has dedicated himself to his training, displaying a physique much leaner than when he fought Francis Ngannou in December, a bout that nearly ended in a stunning loss for him. Posing with a broad smile, Fury seems confident in his abilities as he prepares to take on Usyk.
"Undisputed incoming" Fury wrote, also reminding everyone of the fight date.
The photo quickly caught fire on social media, garnering over 150,000 reactions in under 24 hours. Many applauded the British boxer's impressive form, while some argued in favour of Usyk, predicting his victory.
The much-anticipated match is set for Riyadh and will be aired pay-per-view via the DAZN platform. Watching this event will cost about £18, on top of the service's monthly subscription fee.
