Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk collide on February 17th.
The heavyweights put all of the titles on the line and the winner will be crowned the undisputed king of the division.
Last time out ‘The Gypsy King’ put in a below par performance and survived a major scare against Francis Ngannou and only claimed a narrow split-decision victory over the boxing debutant.

His father, John Fury believes he will need a completely different style against Oleksandr Usyk.
Speaking to Boxing Social, Fury said:
“He needs a different style all-together with Usyk, he’s totally different. If you go back to, many years ago, you can watch it on the internet, it’s Gerry Cooney-Michael Spinks and Michael Spinks is a blown-up light-heavyweight weighing just over fourteen stone at the time.”
“Gerry Cooney is six-foot-seven, eighteen stone, look what happened. These are speed-men, you just can’t have that straight-up, going forward, looking to land a bomb on these kind of fighters because guess what? They can see it coming and they will avoid it.
He added: “Usyk is very good, he is a good mover, he’s got a brain, he’s got good footwork and the style for Deontay Wilder and Francis Ngannou isn’t going to cut it for a man like Usyk.”
