Can Fury Get Revenge in Riyadh?

These two boxing heavyweights went head-to-head at the same venue earlier in the year, with Usyk crowned undisputed champion. The Ukrainian won via split decision to take home the belts.

Fury made the stronger start, but Usyk rose to the occasion as the fight progressed. The 37-year-old scored a knockout in round nine and never looked back. Fury hung in there to go the distance, but Usyk was a worthy winner.

Fury was unbeaten in his professional career before the first bout, so the defeat in Saudi Arabia would have hurt ‘The Gypsy King’. He will be out for revenge in Riyadh on Saturday night.

Usyk has had a sensational career, and beating Fury for a second time will no doubt be the highlight. The champion is the favourite, but Saturday’s intriguing rematch could go either way.
