Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk collide next month.
We are fast approaching the first undisputed heavyweight fight since 1999.
Tyson Fury takes on Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia with all of the marbles on the line.
The fight has been postponed and rescheduled twice, last time because of a cut that the WBC heavyweight champion suffered in sparring with some fans believing some wild conspiracy theories that team Fury orchestrated the postponement.

Speaking to TalkSPORT, Eddie Hearn hit out at people who claimed Fury’s cut was fake and he’s adamant that ‘The Gypsy King’ will not withdraw from the fight again.
He said: “Honestly, I have no doubt this fight happens.
“People talk about, ‘Was the cut real?’ It’s the most ridiculous statement you could ever hear.
“The guy’s making tens and tens and tens of millions and he’s been training away from his family for nine weeks, you don’t just decide to cut your eye to get you out of the fight. It’s ridiculous.”
On a prediction Hearn admitted to changing his mind.
He continued: “I think it [the postponement] is gonna help Fury in terms of his fitness, he looks in great shape.
“I saw a video of Usyk the other day, he looks in tremendous shape.
“My pick’s going backwards and forwards. I went with Fury, now I’m with Usyk.
“But I want Fury to win the fight. I really believe the fight with AJ can happen if he wins.
“It’s a pure 50/50 fight, it’s one of the best fights that can be made in boxing, it’s the undisputed heavyweight world championship.
“Four weeks – you will see that fight, without a doubt.”
