Oleksandr Usyk faces Tyson Fury in their rematch tonight at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The event starts at 11:00 a.m. ET / 5 pm UK time live on DAZN PPV, but the main event between unified heavyweight champion Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) and Fury will be at approximately 6:00 p.m. ET.
Can Fury Conquer Usyk in Rematch?
A bulked-up 281-lb Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) will try to avenge his loss to Usyk from last May. This one could be interesting if it goes to the scorecards or if Fury gets hurt like last time. Hopefully, there’s no controversy like the previous fight between them.

Edgar Ramirez vs. Andrii Novytskyi
In the co-feature, the Queensberry-promoted prospect and heavyweight contender Moses Itauma (10-0, 8 KOs) will face Demsey McKean (22-1, 14 KOs). It’s a fight that has less riding on it than the Serhii Bohachuk vs. Ishmael Davis match, which is a WBC junior middleweight title elimination. That’s a far better fight than the Itauma-McKean clash.
The 19-year-old Itauma is being rapidly moved to put him in position to take over after Fury and Usyk retire. He doesn’t look remotely ready to be fighting for a world title or taking over for the top guys. It’s understandable why Itauma’s promoters have put him in the co-feature to give him some visibility because he’s invisible outside of the UK.
