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 Enviornment 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 by way of split-decision.

What’s Sizzling:

Usyk rose to the ranks as probably the greatest large males within the recreation after a decade of dominance, taking over and beating a number of the finest, and his win over Fury made him undisputed king. If 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 is not going to change that. What it’ll do, nevertheless, is elevate his inventory even additional and go away zero doubt that he’s the most effective Heavyweight boxer on this planet. That mentioned, that would go away him questioning simply what number of different large fights across the nook ought to he get win once more. For Fury, not solely is that is likelihood at revenge, it’ll give him the chance to point out the naysayers that he’s removed from accomplished. A loss, nevertheless, leaves him at a serious crossroad in his boxing profession.

Now that Fury has frolicked with Usyk contained in the ring for 12 grueling rounds — shedding 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 struggle, 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 received the higher of “The Gypsy King.” With that win in his again pocket, Usyk will are available in a lot assured, however he gained’t be too over-confident as a result of he is aware of all too nicely the kind of energy Fury has. However, we’ve to remember that he was taken the space by Francis Ngannou, who remains to be very inexperienced in the case of the boxing world, so possibly Fury is shedding a step or three.

What’s Not:

The one unfavorable in the case of Riyadh season is that the entire motion takes place early within the morning. Name me old fashioned, however there may be simply one thing about watching large boxing fights at night time that brings one thing particular to the desk.

How The ‘Prelims’ Look:

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

In a battle of undefeated sluggers. Daniel Lapin (10-0) will go toe-to-toe towards 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 might be giving up 5 inches in peak.

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

Curiosity Degree: 6/10

After shedding to Vergil Ortiz Jr. in his final bout — dropping the interim WBC mild 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 concern into his opponents all through his profession. However Davis is not any slack, both. Whereas he could have much less fights on document, he does have a pleasant document of 13-1, together with his lone defeat coming in his final bout towards Josh Kelly.

Moses Itauma made his professional debut in 2023, and he has already amassed an ideal document of 10-0 with eight knockouts, six within the first spherical and two within the second. That goes to point out you that he’s all about caring for enterprise as quick as attainable. 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 preventing 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 preventing out of the UK and might be giving up a slight attain benefit.
