A pair of heavyweight boxing titans take the ring as Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) and current unified champion Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) meet on Saturday, May 18. This bout is scheduled for 12 rounds and will get underway at Kingdom Arena in Riyadhi, Saudi Arabia. ESPN+ and DAZN are set to have live coverage beginning at 2 p.m. ET.
A total of four world titles will be on the line as Usyk is set to defend his WBA, WBO, and IBF belts. Fury enters reigning WBC titleholder. The build up for this clash has been electric as both have had their fair share of signature wins within the division of late.
Fury and Usyk were originally scheduled to meet in December 2023, but Fury went toe-to-toe with former UFC star Francis Ngannou two months prior. The next projected date was February 17, 2024 until the “Gypsy King” suffered a severe cut near his right eye amid sparring. Finally, boxing fans can rejoice and get this matchup of two highly skilled unbeaten fighters, where someone’s “0” has got to go.
In what is sure to be an entertaining bout, let’s take a look at the odds to win, total rounds, fight outcome, and whether it’s favored to go the distance, courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.
