Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk – aka Ring of Fire – for the undisputed world heavyweight title is as monumental a fight as is possible in boxing. For the first time since Lennox Lewis in 2000 — and the only time in the four-belt era — one person will own every strap in the sport's blue riband division. This is potentially the biggest PPV fight in history

The build-up has already turned ugly. Tyson Fury's father, John, risked being sent home from Saudi Arabia after he headbutted a member of Oleksandr Usyk's entourage at a media event. The video has gone viral.

Unlike his old man, Tyson Fury looks in better shape than ever coming into the fight. Slow, ponderous and having clearly overlooked novice challenger Francis Ngannou last time out, the 35-year-old Gypsy King 35-year-old will look to use his size and reach advantages to dominate Usyk physically and detonate some of the fierce shots that caused Deontay Wilder so many problems.

Usyk is tantalisingly close to making history as the first man to become undisputed at two different weights, having unified the cruiserweight division in 2018. The Cat has since beaten Derek Chisora and Anthony Joshua (twice) and most recently stopped Daniel Dubois last August. Will Usyk be able to live with the extra power Fury is going to bring?

Fury vs Usyk news

If you were expecting plenty of bombast and explosive turns of phrase at Thursday's final press conference for Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk – especially after headbutt-gate earlier in the week – then you would've been disappointed. Both fighters couldn't have been less perfunctory if they tried. This was strictly business.

Neither Fury, nor Usyk, gave much away with both dedicating their full attention to Saturday's massive fight.

"I'm ready. I've got nothing else to say apart from I'm ready for a good fight," said Fury, adding he'd "say a prayer for [Usyk] before the fight for us both to get out of the ring safely".

Usyk was barely any more garrulous. "Let's make history. Enough. Thanks very much," said the Cat.

Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the press conference was the traditional face-off. Unlike the usual dead stares facing each other, Fury instead turned 90 degrees to look out at the audience, while Usyk looked at the Gypsy King's left shoulder. Could this be a bit of Fury mind games ahead of the fight? He certainly knows this will be his biggest test since Usyk's compatriot Wladimir Klitschko in 2015.

Arguably the most interesting were the promoters and trainers. SugarHill Steward, who trains Fury, spoke at length about his uncle training Lennox Lewis to the last undisputed world heavyweight title fight back in 199, while Usyk promoter Alex Krassyuk quoted British poet Henry Longfellow. All in a day's work in boxing.

You may have to part with a tasty wedge of your hard-earned cash to watch a Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk live stream, but there's plenty more than that mouthwatering main event to enjoy for your money.

Indeed, there are two other world title fights in addition to the big one. Firstly, it's Jai Opetaia vs Mairis Briedis for the vacant IBF cruiserweight world title, a contest between of the division's biggest names. The other scrap for gold sees Joe Cordina defend his IBF super featherweight world title against Anthony Cacace.

There are more up-and-coming names on a stacked undercard, with Sergey Kovalev, Isaac Lowe, Mark Chamberlain (rarely in a bad fight), Moses Itauma and Frank Sanchez all in action.

When Lennox Lewis beat Evander Holyfield by unanimous decision in 1999, nobody could have imagined that a quarter of a century would pass before a fighter unified the heavyweight division again. Tyson Fury puts his WBC title on the line and Oleksandr Usyk lays down his WBA (Super), IBF and WBO belts at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, with the winner guaranteed a prime position in boxing's Hall of Fame.

If Usyk wasn't such an extraordinary talent, this would be regarded as a total mismatch. Fury, after all, holds comically large height, weight and reach advantages, and is universally considered the greatest heavyweight of his generation. He's even two years younger than his opponent.
