MMA Fighting has Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk live round-by-round updates for one of the most anticipated boxing fights of the year on Saturday night at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The main event is expected to begin around 5 p.m. ET on DAZN and PPV.com pay-per-view. Check out our Fury vs. Usyk results page to find out what happened on the undercard.
Fury (34-0-1) is one of the most decorated heavyweight champions in recent history, but had an underwhelming performance against lineal UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou when the two fought each other this past October. Fury eked out a split decision victory over the boxing debutant, despite getting dropped in the third round. Now he faces a considerably more experienced opponent in Usyk.
Usyk (21-0) is the 2012 Olympic gold medalist in boxing. He turned professional in 2013 and has been dominant since, becoming the first (and thus far only) undisputed cruiserweight champion in the four-belt era. Usyk then moved up to heavyweight, where he twice defeated Anthony Joshua to claim his current titles. Most recently, Usyk defended his belts with a ninth-round knockout of Daniel Dubois this past August.
The two undefeated world champions will contest the historic undisputed heavyweight title in Riyadh, with all four belts on the line.
Fury - at 18st 7lb (262lb) - came in at his lightest in over four years but still with a significant weight advantage.
Ukraine’s Usyk weighed in at a career-heavy 16st (224lb), although it was incorrectly announced as 16st 6lb at the weigh-in.
WBC champion Fury - who has a history of causing mayhem at fight week events - refused to look Usyk in the eye at Thursday’s news conference but came out in a playful mood for the weigh-in.
Having danced his way on to the stage, he obliged with the face-off, leaning his head into unified champion Usyk and then pushing him back.
It prompted a melee between the two teams.
"I'm going to knock him right out,” Fury said, using a number of expletives.
"I'm coming for his heart. He's getting it tomorrow, spark out. They [his team] can all get it if they want it."
He ended the interview and stormed off the stage.
Asked what he said to provoke a reaction from Fury, Usyk said: “Don’t be afraid. I will not leave you alone tomorrow.”
The majority of the 2,500 British fans expected to be in attendance on Saturday landed in the Saudi capital in the morning and made their way to the weigh-in.
Heavyweight legends were also rolled in as Lennox Lewis, Larry Holmes, Evander Holyfield and Wladimir Klitschko watched events unfold.
Wales’ IBF super-featherweight champion Joe Cordina and Belfast’s Anthony Cacace successfully weighed in for their bout, along with the rest of the undercard.
Then it was time for the big men. The boisterous British fans, huddled together, jeered Usyk and erupted - chanting “there’s only one Tyson Fury” - when the Gypsy King entered.
The difference in size has been a hot topic throughout the build-up and Usyk - a former cruiserweight champion - came in only two pounds heavier than when he beat Anthony Joshua in 2022.
At 6ft 3in, he is giving up a six-inch height advantage. Fury also has a reach of 85in, compared to Usyk’s 78in.
Fury, 35, comes in more than stone lighter than his close points win over Francis Ngannou in October.
He was criticised for his conditioning against the boxing debutant and appears to have made the necessary adjustments.
Usyk, 37, and his team had previously mocked Fury by calling him “greedy belly”. This week, their insult has changed to “skinny belly".
But there are concerns Fury may have lost too much weight, impacting his punch resistance.
Earlier in the week, Briton Lewis, the last undisputed heavyweight champion in the three-belt era, said Fury appears to have lost size in his legs and it could make it easier for him to be knocked down.
