Oleksandr Usyk takes on Tyson Fury in their rematch tonight at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The event starts at 11:00 am. ET / 5 p.m. UK time live on DAZN PPV, but the main event between unified heavyweight champion Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) and Fury will be around 6:00 p.m. ET.
Can Fury take down Usyk in the rematch?
A massive 281-lb Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) will look to avenge his loss to Usyk last May. This could be interesting if it goes to the scorecards or if Fury gets hurt like last time. Hopefully there won’t be any controversy like the previous battle between them.

Moses Itauma vs Demsey McKean – co-present

Edgar Ramirez vs. Andrii Novytskyi
In the co-feature, Queensberry-promoted heavyweight contender Moses Itauma (10-0, 8 KOs) will take on Demsey McKean (22-1, 14 KOs). It’s a fight that has less riding on it than Serhii Bohachuk vs. Ismael Davis, which is a WBC junior middleweight title eliminator. This is a much better fight than the Itauma-McKean clash.
The 19-year-old Itauma is moving quickly to put him in position to take over after Fury and Usyk retire. He doesn’t look at all ready to fight for a world title or take on the top guys. It is understandable why Itauma’s supporters have put him in the co-feature to give him some visibility because he is invisible outside of the UK.
