Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are set to battle in Riyadh on Saturday night with all heavyweight titles at stake.
This marks Fury’s first fight since his less-than-convincing victory over MMA fighter Francis Ngannou, where Fury struggled to a decision win after being knocked down in the third round.
Fury, who seemed unfocused and heavier in his last match, is expected to approach his bout with Usyk with more seriousness. Usyk represents the most skilled pure boxer Fury has faced since his 2015 fight against Wladimir Klitschko, and possibly the toughest opponent in his career.

Usyk excels with superior footwork that keeps his opponents unbalanced and enables him to execute quick, sharp combinations from unique angles.
This strategy has served him well in the heavyweight division, especially noted in his consecutive victories over Anthony Joshua.
Fury brings his own advantages: a high boxing IQ, the ability to adapt during fights, and significant size—he’s the largest opponent Usyk has faced since ascending from cruiserweight, where Usyk was the undisputed champion.
Expect Fury to utilize his long jab to disrupt Usyk’s rhythm, dominate in close quarters, and target the body, an area where Usyk has shown susceptibility, including in his fights against Joshua and British fighter Daniel Dubois.
A win would crown Fury as the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis and solidify his status as the premier heavyweight of his era.
Given the stakes and Usyk’s caliber, Fury might opt for a cautious approach, potentially leading to a victory by decision.
