Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk Preview: Odds, Date, Start Time and How To Watch

Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk's undisputed heavyweight title fight is finally confirmed.

35-year-old Briton Fury holds the WBC belt, while the  36-year-old Ukrainian Usyk carries the WBA, WBO and IBF straps.

We've detailed everything you need to know about the first crowning of an undisputed heavyweight champion since 1999, with information about where and when the two will fight, as well as updated odds and who else will feature on the undercard.

When Is It?

Although initially planned for 23rd December, the date now occupied by the loaded "Day of Reckoning" card featuring Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder, Fury and Usyk will fight for all of the marbles on the new date of 17th February 2024. The fight was believed to have been moved to the new year due to Fury's shaky encounter with Francis Ngannou, where the heavyweight champion was dropped in round three before winning via decision.

Where Is It?

Like Fury's "Battle of the Baddest" bout with Ngannou, this undisputed heavyweight title fight will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom Arena, home to 26,000 seats, will house the historic fight, and is sure to see many recognisable and important faces in attendance.

The event is part of the ongoing "Riyadh Season" a city-wide celebration of both the city and in the wider context, Saudi Arabia and its people.

Where Can I Watch It?

TNT Sports Box Office is likely to be the only place to watch Fury vs Usyk in the UK. Customers will have the option to stream the action from the TNT Sports Box Office app, which is available for download on mobile and tablet devices, or alternatively, can watch it through the traditional means of TV.

What Are the Odds?

Despite everything that has happened to Fury recently, he still opens up as the favourite for this bout at 8/13. Those odds may have shifted slightly following the Ngannou debacle and the official announcement of this fight and date. However, many are sure to fancy the three-belt holder Usyk, who can be currently backed 6/4 with a number of bookmakers.
