JAKARTA The world of heavyweight boxing will present a big fight this month between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury. The following is the schedule for the second meeting.

Usyk as the heavyweight champion is scheduled to enter the ring to keep his title against Fury in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This clash will take place on Saturday, December 21, 2024.

This is a rematch between the Ukrainian and British champion. Previously they fought on May 18, 2024 at the same location

At that time Usyk won absolute points and became the undisputed world champion (undisputed). He defended the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, IBO, and The Ring titles and won the WBC titles from Fury.

The duel for the second volume is no longer indisputable. The reason is, Usyk has removed the IBF belt because it carries out mandatory duels and prefers to clash again with Fury.

The IBF title now remains at Daniel Dubois, a fighter from England. Dubois defended the title after successfully defeating Anthony Joshua in September.

The plan is that Usyk vs Fury winners will continue their struggle to win the true world title against Dubois.

That could happen if Dubois was also able to maintain the title during a duel with New Zealand champion Joseph Parker, on February 22, 2025.

Usyk, who is 37 years old so far, has had 22 fights and has never lost. A total of 14 wins in that period he got through knockout (KO).

Apart from being at the heavyweight level, he has also been a true champion in the cruising class. Another brilliant achievement when he was still at the amateur level was winning gold at the 2012 Olympics in London.

On the other hand, Fury set a record 34-1 (24 KOs). This 36-year-old fighter was the WBC heavyweight champion before losing his first career to Usyk.
