Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will battle it out for undisputed glory in Saudi Arabia on May 18th.
After two postponements we are finally getting close to crowning the first undisputed heavyweight champion since 1999 when Lennox Lewis achieved the feat.
Ahead of the clash Usyk’s promoter Alex Krassyuk has highlighted a key strength that his man possesses and the main difference between him and ‘The Gypsy King’.
"I do hope Tyson Fury will wear his protection gear this time" 👀
