Fury vs. Usyk: The clash for heavyweight supremacy looms in Riyadh
On May 18, Tyson Fury and Ołeksandr Usyk will face off in Riyadh in one of the most talked-about boxing matches of the 21st century. Just a few days before the clash, the Brit posted a photo on Instagram, demonstrating his commitment to his training period.
For years, the anticipated match between Usyk and Fury was a topic of discussion, but financial agreements delayed their clash. It's crucial to note that the Ukrainian and the Brit hold titles from the most prestigious boxing organizations. Hence, their bout will crown the ultimate heavyweight champion.
The bout was initially scheduled for February 17. However, two weeks prior, Fury announced he had sustained a deep cut to the brow arc during a sparring session, prompting the postponement of the match to May 18.
In the days leading up to the fight, Fury revealed his current physical condition to his fans. The Brit has rigorously dedicated himself to his pre-fight preparation, displaying a leaner physique than during his December fight with Francis Ngannou, which nearly ended in a dramatic defeat for Fury. He posed with a broad smile, signaling his confidence before stepping into the ring with Usyk.

The photo created a stir on social media, quickly amassing over 150,000 reactions in under a day. Numerous fans praised the British boxer's impressive form. Some netizens, however, favored Usyk, predicting a win for the Ukrainian.
The much-anticipated fight will occur in Riyadh, with live broadcasting available on a pay-per-view basis through the DAZN platform. Watching this particular event will cost approximately 24 USD, on top of the monthly subscription fee for the service.
