Oleksandr Usyk takes on Tyson Fury in their rematch tonight at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The event starts at 11:00am ET / 5:00pm UK time live on DAZN PPV, but the main event between unified heavyweight champion Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) and Fury will be at approximately 6:00 pm ET.
Can Fury conquer Usyk in the rematch?
A 281-pound Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) will look to avenge his loss to Usyk last May. This one could be interesting if it goes to the scorecards or if Fury gets hurt like last time. Hopefully, there will be no controversy like the previous fight between them.

In the co-feature, Queensberry-promoted prospect and heavyweight contender Moses Itauma (10-0, 8 KOs) will take on Demsey McKean (22-1, 14 KOs). It’s a fight that has less riding on it than the Serhii Bohachuk vs. Ishmael Davis match, which is a WBC junior middleweight title eliminator. This is a much better fight than the Itauma-McKean matchup.
Itauma, 19, is being moved quickly to put him in position to take over after Fury and Usyk retire. He doesn’t look anywhere near ready to fight for a world title or take on the best. It is understandable why Itauma’s promoters have put him in the co-film to give him some exposure because he is invisible outside of the UK.
