The Gypsy King has already been forced to postpone the fight twice after a heated affair with Francis Ngannou left him shaken and an eye injury led to a second delay.

But as we get closer to the fight everything seems to be in order for a battle between two of boxing’s greatest fighters.

In addition to having a huge main event for the showdown in the Middle East, fans can expect some exciting fights on the undercard in Riyadh.

Two IBF titles are up for grabs before Usyk and Fury take to the ring for their undisputed showdown.

And big-name fighters like Joe Cordina and Jai Operaia will don the gloves to entertain the Saudi public and try to keep their records impeccable.
