Tyson Fury next fight

This undisputed heavyweight clash between Fury and Usyk will take place on February 17.

The huge bout between the two undefeated fighters will be held at the Kingdom Arena, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Southpaw Uysk is undefeated in 21 professional rights, recording 14 wins by knockout and another seven via decision.

He also dominated in the amateur ranks, recording 335 victories and only 15 losses, before turning professional.

Usyk originally mastered the cruiserweight division – becoming world champion in his tenth pro fight.

The 2012 Olympic gold medallist unified the weight class just five bouts later and retired Tony Bellew in 2018.

Usyk moved up to heavyweight the following year and became a two-division world champion by beating Anthony Joshua in 2021.

He has made two successful defences of the belts since, first seeing of AJ in the rematch last year before beating Daniel Dubois in August.

Fury needed help from the judges in October to maintain his perfect record and beat former UFC star Francis Ngannou.

The 35-year-old was sensationally knocked down in round three in what was Ngannou’s first-ever professional boxing match.

However, he recovered to claim victory via majority decision, with Usyk sat ringside.

Fury was originally set for a quick turnaround to face ‘The Cat’ on December 23 but the injuries he suffered to Ngannou meant the fight was pushed back until next year.

Fury insists he will look for face shots and a knockout against Usyk.

“I’m looking for face shots. Always looking for the knockout.” he told Mail Sport.

When pressed on if he was looking for the knockout, he said: “Always. I’m looking for face shots, in the face! In the face.

“That’s what I am looking for, in the face!”
