World heavyweight champion Tyson Fury will fight Ukrainian professional boxer Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world in Riyadh.

The winner in this epic face-off will become the first heavyweight champion to hold all four belts since Lennox Lewis in 1999. So, the fight is set to be the biggest fight in heavyweight boxing history.

"This is the fight that everyone has wanted to see for some time now and it is finally happening," said Turki AlAlShikh, the chairman of the General Authority of Entertainment (GEA). 

"It is the biggest fight in boxing, the world will be watching and we are so proud to be hosts for this spectacle as part of the fourth edition of our Riyadh Season celebrations," he added.

The exact date for the fight has yet to be confirmed but it is confirmed to be a part of the upcoming Riyadh Season. Ticket details are also yet to be announced.

The fight will take place in the Kingdom Arena, and will likely be after Fury faces Francis Ngannou in the ring on Saturday, October 28th.
