FILE PHOTO: Boxing - WBC World Heavyweight Title - Tyson Fury v Derek Chisora - Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, Britain - December 3, 2022 Tyson Fury with Oleksandr Usyk after the fight. REUTERSPIX: Tyson Fury will take on Oleksandr Usyk in a historic undisputed heavyweight showdown in Saudi Arabia, promoters announced on Friday.
“The heavyweights always spark the imagination of the fans, and I have no doubt this will be the biggest boxing event of the century.”Neither fighter has been beaten in their professional careers.Usyk has won all 21 of his bouts, but defended his titles against Britain's Daniel Dubois in controversial fashion in August.
“I do what I say. I say what I do. Undisputed. This is the Gypsy King era,“ Fury posted on Instagram. “You can’t rabbit run anymore Usyk.”A proposed unification fight at Wembley in April fell through and the decision to stage the contest in Saudi Arabia is likely to attack criticism given concerns over the country's human rights record.
The conservative monarchy executed 81 people in a single day last year, outlaws homosexuality and triggered international condemnation when journalist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in 2018.
