Tyson Fury’s rematch with Oleksandr Usyk will take place on Saturday December 21 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia’s chair of General Entertainment Authority Turki Alalshikh has announced. Usyk emerged victorious via split decision when the rivals met earlier this month to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999 and first in the four-belt era.
