Fury and Usyk face off in the first undisputed heavyweight fight since 1999 and the monumental occasion demands a huge team to bring the coverage to the fans at home.
And those not making the mammoth trip to Saudi Arabia won’t be disappointed with Woods hosting the broadcast alongside former WBA world champion David Haye.
Hayemaker will also be joined by two-weight world champion Carl Frampton and boxing expert Steve Bunce.
It’s not just the presenting team where fans can expect to be impressed by the big names.
Former boxing star Richie Woodhall will join TNT Sports lead commentator Darren Fletcher on commentary for the blockbuster event.
Like Woods, fans will be more accustomed to hearing Fletcher bring Premier League and Champions League coverage on TNT Sports.
But both have experience bringing boxing to the public’s TV screens in the past.
Coverage of the event is set to begin at 5pm, with ring walks for the main event expected to take place around 11pm.

There will be plenty of action on the undercard to keep fans entertained, with two other championship fights taking place before Fury and Usyk enter the ring.
Jai Opetaia and Mairis Briedis will compete for the vacant IBF cruiserweight title.
While Joe Cordina and Anthony Cacace will face each other for the IBF super featherweight title.
But all eyes will be on the main event when Fury and Usyk finally fight after seeing their long-awaited fight postponed. TWICE.
The Gypsy King postponed the fight from the initial date after being attacked more than expected during his fight against Francis Ngannou last year.
While a second delay occurred after Fury suffered a huge cut above his eye during a sparring session.
