The undisputed fight will finally take place on May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, after it was rescheduled due to a deep cut Fury suffered while training. Fury is set to defend his WBC title, while Usyk will put his WBA, WBO and IBF titles on the line after his most recent win against Daniel Dubois, knocking out the Briton in Poland in August 2023. Something has got to give as both boxers head into the fight undefeated, with Fury's controversial draw with Deontay Wilder the only blot against his record.
But for Joshua, who lost to Usyk in September 2021 by unanimous decision, there will only be one winner as he backed the Ukrainian to take down the 'Gypsy King'.
