Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk, undisputed heavyweight boxing world title

Former heavyweight champion David Haye suggests Heaney’s opponent led with his head in the incident that caused the anti-climatic end to the contest, although it is hard not to feel some sympathy for suitably frustrated Flatley. The odds are stacked to one side, but unlike the fights above, it’s difficult to picture an upset. Bivol is one of the most underrated fighters in boxing despite his recent wins. The expectation is for Bivol to win by points or decision at $1.69 but the value is in a knockout win at $2.50. Expect Bivol to be the aggressor throughout the fight and to frustrate Arthur into opening himself up to Usyk vs Parker Odds be hit.

Joyce and Parker engage in a final staredown after the visiting fighter is embraced by Fury on his way out. His corner react as if he’s delivered a knockout blow, which may owe more to their relief at their fighter following their instructions from the previous intermission. Ramla Ali, the unbeaten Somalian fighter who combines her boxing career with modelling and activism, will take on Crystal Garcia Nova.

• The stakes are higher than ever as KSI accepts his hardest challenge to date by taking on undefeated pro boxer Joe Fournier at Ovo Arena Wembley in London.
• Third time’s a charm for Jake Paul (6-0-0) and Tommy Fury (8-0-0) as they look to finally face off in Saudi Arabia.
• The longer the fight lasts the more likely Parker is to connect on one of his quick combinations.
• Detroit’s Harrison is the only man ever to beat ‘undisputed’ champ Jermell Charlo.

Fury, , is another fighter who could justifiably claim greatness is one fight away, if not already a part of his CV. As an amateur, Usyk won everything — European championships, world championships as well as the Olympic gold in 2012. Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will meet in boxing’s new home, Riyadh, as the Saudi Arabian takeover of pugilism at the highest, showbiziest level, continues. Joyce tipped the scales on Friday at 271.6lbs, some 16lbs heavier than Parker, who weighed in at 255.4lbs.

Lyndon Arthur is a tricky fighter but ultimately a stepping stone for Bivol to a unification bout against the winner of Artur Beterbiev & Callum Smith on January 13th. That means no world title belt will be on the line for Parker, who was attempting to become a two-time champion. Granted, Wilder barely broke a sweat in knocking over Robert Helenius inside a round with his sledgehammer of a right hand on his return fight, but was then impressively outboxed by New Zealander Joe Parker last time out. He won the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, IBO, and The Ring heavyweight titles by defeating Wladimir Klitschko in Germany in 2015.
