Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury are set to run it again TODAY (Sat., Dec. 21, 2024) LIVE on DAZN pay-per-view (PPV) from inside Kingdom Area in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The 2 males initially fought for the undisputed Heavyweight crown this pat Might, with Usyk handing Fury his first-ever defeat through split-decision.

What’s Sizzling:

Usyk rose to the ranks as among the finest huge males within the sport after a decade of dominance, taking over and beating among the finest, and his win over Fury made him undisputed king. Once you pair his victory over “Gypsy King” with a few victories over Anthony Joshua, he has all the suitable to strut round. However he’s nonetheless as humble as they arrive within the boxing world, and one other win over Fury won’t change that. What it should do, nevertheless, is elevate his inventory even additional and go away zero doubt that he’s the perfect Heavyweight boxer on the earth. That mentioned, that might go away him questioning simply what number of different huge fights across the nook ought to he get win once more. For Fury, not solely is that is likelihood at revenge, it should give him the chance to indicate the naysayers that he’s removed from carried out. A loss, nevertheless, leaves him at a significant crossroad in his boxing profession.

Now that Fury has frolicked with Usyk contained in the ring for 12 grueling rounds — dropping his WBC title within the course of — he is aware of what to anticipate from the Ukrainian bruiser. On that not, Usyk additionally has a really feel for his foe. Within the first combat, Usyk loved loads of success on his a lot taller opponent, and when it got here time to go blow-for-blow within the middle of the ring he bought the higher of “The Gypsy King.” With that win in his again pocket, Usyk will are available loads assured, however he gained’t be too over-confident as a result of he is aware of all too properly the kind of energy Fury has. However, we’ve to needless to say he was taken the gap by Francis Ngannou, who continues to be very inexperienced with regards to the boxing world, so perhaps Fury is dropping a step or three.

What’s Not:

The one unfavourable with regards to Riyadh season is that all the motion takes place early within the morning. Name me old skool, however there may be simply one thing about watching huge boxing fights at evening that brings one thing particular to the desk.

How The ‘Prelims’ Look:

In Heavyweight motion, Johnny Fisher will convey his undefeated (12-0) file to the desk to face off in opposition to Dave Allen, a British slugger with a file of 23-6-2 with 18 knockouts on his resume. He additionally has notable losses in opposition to Dillian Whyte and Luis Ortiz. Regardless of combating professionally for over a decade, he doesn’t have the staple win to boast of. Maybe taking Fisher’s “O” will probably be what he wants.

In a battle of undefeated sluggers. Daniel Lapin (10-0) will go toe-to-toe in opposition to Dylan Colin (14-0). Lapin fights within the southpaw stance and has proven nice pace all through his profession, with the towering Ukrainian — who stands at 6’6” — accumulating 4 knockout wins. Colin isn’t too far behind, nevertheless, with the Frenchman additionally having 4 knockouts on his resume, although he will probably be giving up 5 inches in peak.

In additional championship motion, Andrii Novytskyi will put his excellent 13-0 file and his WBC Worldwide Heavyweight title on the road in opposition to Edgar Ramirez, who fights out of Mexico and brings with him a 10-1 file. Novytskyi is the heavy favourite right here, and his 10 knockouts, 4 within the first spherical, in addition to his championship mettle is the rationale why. However Ramirez isn’t any slouch, and he could make a reputation for himself by upsetting the Ukrainian champion.

Curiosity Degree: 6/10

After dropping to Vergil Ortiz Jr. in his final bout — dropping the interim WBC gentle middleweight title, within the course of — Serhii Bohachuk goals to get again on observe when he battles Ishmael Davis within the 154-pound co-main occasion. With 23 of his wins coming by means of knockout, Bohachuk has instilled worry into his opponents all through his profession. However Davis isn’t any slack, both. Whereas he could have much less fights on file, he does have a pleasant file of 13-1, together with his lone defeat coming in his final bout in opposition to Josh Kelly.

Moses Itauma made his professional debut in 2023, and he has already amassed an ideal file of 10-0 with eight knockouts, six within the first spherical and two within the second. That goes to indicate you that he’s all about taking good care of enterprise as quick as potential. His Heavyweight counterpart, Demsey McKean, is coming off the primary lack of his profession by the hands of Filip Hrgović over one 12 months in the past. Previous to that setback, he had gained 22 straight, 14 by means of knockout/technical knockout (TKO).

Issac Lowe and Lee McGregor will battle for the vacant WBC Worldwide Featherweight title. Lowe (30) is an orthodox boxer combating out of the UK. He is available in on a four-fight win streak, together with his lone two defeats coming by means of knockout. As for McGregor, he’s 14-1 with 11 knockouts to boast of. He’s additionally combating out of the UK and will probably be giving up a slight attain benefit. The 2 males had a tense staredown earlier right this moment (relive it right here), so issues might get very fascinating from the opening bell.
