Tyson Fury-Oleksandr Usyk world heavyweight title fight rearranged for May 18
Tyson Fury’s highly anticipated world heavyweight title fight against Oleksandr Usyk has been rescheduled for May 18, according to a statement released by promoters. The much-anticipated clash was initially slated to take place later this month in Saudi Arabia, but was postponed after Fury suffered a freak cut above his eye during a training session.
Queensbury Promotions, in a statement on their official Twitter page, announced the new date: The undisputed heavyweight championship fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk has been rescheduled to May 18th in Riyadh.
Fury, who currently holds the WBC belt, required immediate medical attention following the training mishap. This setback marks the second time the fight between Fury and Usyk has been delayed, as the initial scheduled bout in December did not materialize.
When the fight eventually takes place, the winner will be recognized as the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the four-belt era. Usyk, hailing from Ukraine, currently holds the WBO, WBA, and IBF titles.
Fans and boxing enthusiasts eagerly await the clash between Fury and Usyk, which is sure to be an epic showdown between two skilled fighters. The rescheduled fight promises to deliver high-intensity action and further establish the supremacy of the victor in the heavyweight division.
The announcement of the new date offers hope and anticipation for what is expected to be a blockbuster event on May 18. Boxing fans will be on the edge of their seats as Fury and Usyk step into the ring, showcasing their talent, strength, and determination to secure victory.
