Date and time for Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury: The rematch for the undisputed Heavyweight Title

Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury will meet again in the ring for a highly anticipated rematch, seven months after their first fight. This time, they’ll battle for the undisputed heavyweight boxing title.

Usyk made history in their first encounter on May 19, 2024, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, when he defeated Fury to become the world’s first undisputed heavyweight champion in 24 years. However, shortly after, Usyk gave up one of his four world titles, as Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois were set to fight for the IBF belt.

Now, the two elite boxers are set to face off once again in a clash that is about much more than just titles; it’s about legacy.

Rematch Preview: What to Expect

In their first fight, the two fighters showcased very different styles, with Usyk narrowly winning by split decision. Many fans discussed the tactical approach each boxer took in the ring, and it was clear that Usyk’s performance was crucial to his victory. The Ukrainian’s success has been built on his accuracy, control, and ability to outthink his opponents.

Fury, on the other hand, is known for his combination of strength, speed, and psychological tactics. Standing at 6’9″ with an 85-inch reach, Fury is an imposing figure, but it’s his mental toughness and ability to adapt in the ring that has earned him respect from some of the greatest in the division, including Wladimir Klitschko and Deontay Wilder.
