Usyk and Fury go toe-to-toe in the ring this evening, fighting for three of the four heavyweight titles.
Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are set for a dramatic rematch in Saudi Arabia, with Usyk defending his WBA, WBC, and WBO heavyweight titles. Both fighters have weighed in and all that is left to do is step in the ring.
Fury tipped the scales at a career-high 20st 1lb, four stone heavier than Usyk's 16st 1lb but as we saw in the last fight, size doesn't always come out on top against technical ability.
May's fight saw Usyk hand Fury his first career defeat via split decision with scores of 115-112 and 114-113 in his favor.
Widely considered one of the best pound-for-pound fighters, Usyk made a seamless transition from dominating cruiserweight to heavyweight boxing.
After defending his undisputed cruiserweight crown in 2018, Usyk moved up to heavyweight, overcoming doubts about his size.
He defeated top names like Derek Chisora, Anthony Joshua, and Daniel Dubois, and made history in May by outclassing Fury to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion in 24 years.
However, Usyk's heavyweight story doesn't end there as he will will step back into the ring tonight to face Fury who is looking to take revenge on the dual undisputed champion and reclaim his the position at the top of heavyweight boxing.

Who is the favourite to win Usyk vs Fury 2?
Usyk is the slight favourite going into the rematch of this bout at a best price of 10/11 with William Hill.
The Ukrainian is yet to be defeated in his professional career and has had no problem rising to the top of the heavyweight division, proving himself to be the best pound-for-pound fighter along the way.
There were doubts that the 6 foot 3in fighter could compete with his bigger opponent last time, resulting in Usyk going into the fight as the underdog.
However, it was soon evident that his technical ability and incredible footwork made up for his lack of size and the split-decision victory in that fight was enough evidence for bookmakers to make him the favourite in this fight.
Fury, who will look to recover from his first professional loss is a best price of 11/8 with AKBets to do so.
Fury's lack of focus arguably lost him the last fight but a lot has been said about Fury's preparation this time around with many believing the heavy hitter has a renewed focus that could make the difference.
Cruiserweight champion Jai Opetaia, along with former world champions Joe Cordina and Carl Frampton, are among those backing a Fury victory, citing his determination and hitting power as key factors in his favour.
