How to watch Usyk vs Fury 2: Date, time, fight card & more info

Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury reignite their rivalry in the ring on Saturday, December 21, at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Boxing buffs are buzzing as two of the world's top heavyweights face off for the second time in just seven months. Tyson Fury, known as 'The Gypsy King,' steps into the Riyadh ring seeking to avenge his first professional loss. The British boxer missed the opportunity to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion this millennium in May. Instead, Usyk claimed that distinction, winning their initial bout by split decision and securing all four world heavyweight titles. This time, not all the belts will be at stake, as Daniel Dubois currently holds the IBF title after Usyk vacated it earlier this year. Nevertheless, the significance of this rematch remains immense.

Tyson Fury supporters will hold on to the fact that their man has responded well in previous rematches down the years. He stopped Deontay Wilder and Derek Chisora during his subsequent encounters with the pair after initially struggling to break down those opponents when they first locked horns. So maybe 'The Gypsy King' will have picked up some vital pointers from his May bout with Usyk. Some pundits have urged Fury to go on the offensive and cut out the clowning antics in Riyadh this time after allowing the Ukrainian to take the initiative for lengthy spells.

Unbeaten Oleksandr Usyk returns to Saudi Arabia aiming to extend his professional record to 23-0. At 37 years of age though, the Ukrainian knows he's also fighting against time. Usyk followers will rally around the notion that Tyson Fury is on the decline. The Brit struggled to a split decision draw against UFC star Francis Ngannou (with many viewers believing that the heavy-hitting African should have been given the verdict) prior to his initial loss against Usyk. Ngannou would, of course, be emphatically knocked out by Anthony Joshua less than 5 months later.

As well as the main event, there's now another scrap between British and Ukrainian fighters on the undercard. British boxer Ishmael Davis will now clash with Ukraine's Serhii Bohachuk in a super-welterweight bout. Davis has stepped in as a late replacement for Israil Madrimov, as the highly-rated competitor from Uzbekistan had to pull out due to illness. There's also an intriguing all-British tear-up between Dennis McCann and Peter McGrail with the European Super-bantamweight title on the line. Former Commonwealth Games gold-medallist Peter McGrail aims to snatch the crown from McCann's head.
