Oleksandr Usyk faces Tyson Fury in their rematch tonight at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The event starts at 11:00am ET / 5pm UK time live on DAZN PPV, but the main event between unified heavyweight champion Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) and Fury will be at around 6:00 pm 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 could be interesting if it goes to the scorecards or if Fury gets injured like he did last time. I hope there is no controversy like the previous fight between them.

Edgar Ramirez vs. Andrii Novytskyi
In the co-feature, Queensberry-promoted prospect and heavyweight contender Moses Itauma (10-0, 8 KOs) will face Demsey McKean (22-1, 14 KOs). It is a fight that has less horse than the match of Serhii Bohachuk vs. Ishmael Davis, which is an elimination of the WBC junior middleweight title. It’s a much better fight than the Itauma-McKean fight.
The 19-year-old Itauma was quickly transformed to put him in position to take over after the retirement of Fury and Usyk. He doesn’t look remotely ready to fight for a world title or take on the best. It is understandable why the promoters of Itauma put it in the co-function to give it some visibility because it is invisible outside the United Kingdom.
