WBC heavyweight champion Fury (34-0-1) stakes his title against Usyk's (21-0) IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight belts. The winner will be the only boxer to hold the four major heavyweight boxing belts concurrently. The outcome of Fury vs. Usyk will raise new questions about how the winner measures up to undisputed heavyweight champs of the past like Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, Mike Tyson and Rocky Marciano.
Fury appears in fantastic shape but has much to prove after a disastrous split decision win against former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou in the latter's professional boxing debut. Ngannou knocked down an overweight Fury who looked trepidacious despite his vast experience edge. Usyk looked sharp in his most recent title defense, knocking out a game Daniel Dubois despite a scare earlier in the fight. Dubois landed a punch that floored Usyk. The referee ruled the strike a low blow but detractors insist it should have been legal.
Two IBF championship fights are also on the card. Jai Opetaia is widely expected to recapture the IBF cruiserweight title he vacated last year after the IBF denied his voluntary defense request against Ellis Zorro. He takes on former three-time cruiserweight champion Mairis Briedis, looking to bounce back from a unanimous decision loss to Opetaia in July 2022. Undefeated IBF super featherweight champion Joe Cordina takes on Ireland's Anthony Cacace, riding a six-fight winning streak.
The action gets underway at noon ET on DAZN and ESPN+ pay-per-view. The full fight card with odds and complete viewing information is listed below.
