The clash to crown the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the world in almost 25 years is finally set to happen as Tyson Fury's bout against Oleksandr Usyk was announced earlier this month.
Fury's narrow win over MMA fighter Francis Ngannou in late October, which saw him dropped in just the third round, will no doubt warn some people away from the 35-year-old, who only just managed to protect his unbeaten record which now stands at 34-0-1. In previous years, his bouts against Deontay Wilder, Dillian Whyte and Derek Chisora have shown why he's still held as the bookies favourite heading into the bout.
Usyk, on the other hand, hasn't fought since August when he defended his belts against British heavyweight Daniel Dubois. It meant his record moved to 21-0, following back-to-back wins over Anthony Joshua and one over Chisora before that.
