Heavyweight champions Fury and Usyk fight for all four belts this Saturday in Saudi Arabia. The fight was supposed to take place in February but was pushed back three months after Fury was forced to pull out after being cut in sparring. Tempers have boiled over just one day after Usyk landed in the Kingdom as a member of his team clashed with Fury's dad John.
Hey Heavyweight rivals have been on a collision course for more than a year having initially been pencilled in to clash at Wembley last April. Terms could not be agreed on that occasion and the fight was pushed back until two days before Christmas, only for Fury's life-and-death fight with Francis Ngannou to put a spanner in the works.
9:09 p.m. AST/ 2:09 p.m. ET: Into the ring now is the man known as Turki Alalshikh's favourite fighter. No, don't worry, you're not late for Tyson Fury. British lightweight Mark Chamberlain, who is 15-0 with 11 KOs is into the action. Oh, and there's a first-round knockdown from Chamberlain! Joshua Oluwaseun Wahab is down and down heavily from a straight left hand. Down goes Wahab again under the follow-up assault and that is a brutal first-round KO from Chamberlain! His Nigerian opponent looked to be briefly out cold and is now receiving oxygen at ringside. We hope he's okay after what quickly looked like an ill-advised step up from super featherweight. Nevertheless, that was a statement from Chamberlain, who has almost certainly booked himself a place on another huge Saudi card.
6:30 p.m. AST/ 11:30 a.m. ET: Both Team Fury and Team Usyk are already in the win column after the beginning of the preliminary action at the Kingdom Arena. Fury's cousin Isaac Lowe (25-2-3, 8 KOs) made it four wins in succession at as he dropped Hasibullah Ahmadi in the eighth before closing out a 10-round points decision. Light-heavyweight prospect Daniel Lapin, one of Usyk's training partners moved to 10-0 (4 KOs) as he dispatched Octavio Pudivitr within a round, possibly leaving his opponent with a broken nose in the process.
Robin Safar beats Sergey Kovalev by unanimous decision
8:50 p.m. AST/ 1:50 p.m. ET: Kovalev made it to the final bell... barely. The Krusher was crushed by a booming Safar right hand inside the final 10 seconds. The old warrior instincts saw him return to his feet but I'm not entirely sure Kovalev knew where he was at that point. Once he returns to his senses, he should realise it's time to walk away for good after five years of scant activity. Safar was merciless and composed as he put together a clinical display that moved him to 17-0 and will open doors. One judge had the knockdown making the difference, scoring it 95-94. Hopefully we have nothing so absurd in the main event. The other marginals of 99-90 and 97-92 were more accurate reflections of a sorry ordeal for Kovalev.
Tyson Fury will fight against Oleksandr Usyk in a heavyweight clash for the WBA, WBC, WBO, and IBF titles on Saturday, May 18, live on Sky Sports Box Office. This 12-round heavyweight title clash will occur in Saudi Arabia and is expected around 11 PM UK and Ireland time, i.e., 3:30 AM the next day in India.

Tyson is 35, and Oleksandr is 37. Fury is English-born and has a record of 34-0-1 (24 KOs), and Usyk is Ukrainian-born and 21-0 (14 KOs). You can watch the fight on Sky Sports; let us dive deep into it.
Fury and Usyk agreed to push their meeting back until February 17 only for the Brit to suffer a cut above his eye in one of his final sparring sessions. A new date was quickly agreed with both men now in Saudi Arabia ahead of Saturday night's showdown. Here is everything you need to know about the clash...
Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will likely walk to the ring at around 11pm UK time on Saturday night, which will be 1am in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. But as fans experienced when Anthony Joshua fought Francis Ngannou in March, the first bell could ring after midnight in the UK, meaning a late night for fight fans. The ultimate start time will depend on how long the undercard fights take to complete. The first fights of the day will start at around 2.45pm in the UK with the official undercard kicking off at 5pm.
