Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk 2: What belts are on the line for huge rematch?
TYSON FURY and Oleksandr Usyk are ready to put on another dazzling display to close out a fantastic year of heavyweight boxing.
The long-anticipated rematch is finally here as the two heavyweights are set for what will surely be another fight-of-the-year contender.
Last time out, Usyk was victorious with a split decision win and nearly finished the Gypsy King in the ninth round.
They were fighting for six belts in total - WBC, IBF, IBO, WBO, WBA (Super) and The Ring title - plus a new "undisputed" belt Turki Alalshikh had created.

Here, SunSport brings you everything you need to know about what belts are on the line for the exciting rematch in Riyadh.
What belts are on the Line in Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk 2?
Usyk's reign as undisputed champion didn't last long as he was quickly stripped of the IBF belt after being unable to make a mandatory defence.
The belt went to interim holder Daniel Dubois without needing to fight for it - but he then defended it in sensational fashion with a TKO win over Anthony Joshua on September 24.
This time around, the rematch sees the two men fight for five heavyweight titles.
The belts on the line are the IBO, WBC, and WBO titles, plus the lesser WBA (Super) title and The Ring belt - which isn't a boxing governing body but does hold weight.
Not only did the Fury lose his WBC belt to Usyk, but he also received his first-ever loss on his record, so he'll be looking to avenge that too.
