Tyson Fury, the holder of the World Boxing Council (WBC) heavyweight title, has confronted and crushed some of the biggest names in the sport, including Wladimir Klitschko, Dillian Whyte, and Deontay Wilder in an adrenaline-loaded series of matchups.
His opponent Oleksandr Usyk, who comes from the deep, has established his prowess by commanding the cruiserweight division before graduating to heavyweight, where he clutched the World Boxing Organization (WBO), World Boxing Association (WBA), and International Boxing Federation (IBF) titles with tremendous victories over Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois.
Boxing lovers have been demanding this fight, dying to see the top contenders in the sport destroying each other to win the prestigious title.
