Oleksandra Usyk vs Tyson Fury will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Shout out to Turki Alalshikh for organzing some of the greatest fight cards, not only of this year, but ever in the sport (stay tuned for that Terence Crawford vs Israil Madrimov card in August).

Usyk has the IBF, WBA, and WBO belts after being Anthony Joshua twice. Fury still has the WBC that he beat off of Deontay Wilder. Usyk, having started at Cruiserweight, could go down as they greatest Cruiser ever if he pulls this off. Known as a clever, tricky, cerebral fighter, he's always found a way to win no matter what he was up against. He's the smaller size that usually gives Fury problems, but Fury looks very locked in and may have had his wake-up call being dropped in the Francis Ngannou fight that was supposed to be an easy win for Fury. Fury is also with Sugarhill Steward, who helped him turn his punches over and start getting KO's. He's the real secret sauce for Fury here.

I personally want Usyk to do it, because I've always liked him as a fight and a man. Fury is literally a tall order tho. He's not a just a huge guy at 6'9" but he's also a thinking man in the ring. Surely the most skilled guy boxing has seen at his size. I'm very interested to see how they both approach this fight. Fury has a huge ego, and Usyk fights for his country (Ukraine). Should be good.
