Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk 2 LIVE RESULTS: Main card on NOW as ring walk time confirmed for huge rematch – updates

Weight a minute

Tyson Fury tipped the scales at a CAREER-HEAVY weight for his do-or-die rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.

Fury, who looked to be significantly heavier in recent training snaps, took to the scales first after a spectacular walk.

But the former WBC king opted NOT to reveal his physique as he tipped the scales, which recorded him weighing a staggering 20 STONE (281lbs).

His career-heaviest weight, however, was clearly the result of the SEVERAL LAYERS of clothing he was wearing.

Former undisputed king Usyk soon followed, weighing in at just over 16 stone (226lbs).

Tonight's referee

Robert Ramirez Jr will take charge of the epic heavyweight showdown in Saudi Arabia - now just a few hours away!

The Puerto Rican has run the rule over 412 matches throughout his career, which started back in 2003.

He has been involved in fights including the likes of Andre Ward and Tommy Fury.

While he also took charge of Logan Paul’s win over Dillon Danis in 2023.

He was involved in controversy in November last year when Katie Taylor won her rematch against Chantelle Cameron in Dublin.

Fury vs Usyk's records compared

Oleksandr Usyk has won every single professional fight in his illustrious career.

While Tyson Fury has suffered just the one defeat… and it came at the hands of tonight’s opponent.

Tyson Fury record: 34 wins (24 by KO), 1 loss, 1 draw

Oleksandr Usyk record: 22 wins (14 by KO) 0 losses, 0 draws

Daniel Dubiois makes prediction

IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois has given his prediction on tonight’s fight.

The champ said: "May the best man win, I just want to fight the winner. Something tells me Usyk will do it again.

"He has luck on his side and he has skills, has the backing of his  people and fights for his country.

"As a fellow Brit I want Tyson  but I feel Usyk wins."

Styles make fights

The Gypsy King often changes his approach for each fight, but his fast twitch movements and dynamic punches are forever present.

Fury predominantly fights in the orthodox stance but will often change to make it awkward for his opponents and make him more unpredictable.

Usyk is known for his tricky fight style, will be looking tonight by any means necessary.

The Ukrainian is a right-handed southpaw who punches with great volume and has incredible stamina.

He also has world-class ring IQ that allows him to adapt during the fight.

A bit Fishy

For those who are interested in the brilliant undercard fights, they’ll be five incredible matches before the main event including Johnny Fisher vs formerly retired Dave Allen!

Fisher looks to defend his 12-fight unbeaten run as he takes on fellow Brit and formerly retired Dave Allen.

The Romford Bull enters the bout less experienced than Dave Allen but with huge potential, 11 knockouts, and a perfect record thus far.

Dave Allen holds a 23-6-2 record with 18 knockouts - taking part in more than twice as many fights as Fisher.

Nonetheless, Fisher, son of TikTok star Big John, has only completed two rounds in 2024 winning both of his previous two fights with first-round knockouts.

Allen also won his previous two fights, claiming victories over Amine Boucetta and Jake Darnell via points.

Will there be a trilogy?

Rematch clauses can often be a sticking point in big contracts for major fights.

It's usually standard practice that in huge money-making fights a rematch clause is put down in ink.

But unfortunately for both men, that isn't the case this time around.

There is NO rematch clause in the contract, no matter what the resulThis presents an unfavourable situation for Usyk, who was legally bound to give Fury a rematch the first time round, but may not have the favour returned if he loses the rematch.

Of course, if after two fights the score is even at one win apiece, boxing fans will be pining for a trilogy fight, as will promoters of the event.

So there remains every chance a third fight could happen. If Fury loses again, however, the chances of it happening are slim to none.

Usyk doesn't have to grant fury a third fight, and the demand from the public for one will be low.

How greedy

Oleksandr Usyk has stated that he will not give up any secrets on what he has learned from the first fight.

But the Ukranian giant did not shy away from dishing out the insults and compliments for Fury.

Usyk said: "I learned a little bit [from the first fight] but I [will] not tell you. After my second win I will talk to you. It's not secret but maybe greedy belly will watch the TV.

"Tyson Fury is very important for my boxing career. He's a very strong opponent. He's important but not only for me but for future history, for boxing in the world.”

This is turning out to be quite the rivalry and no rivalry should end on a tie - read the next post to see whether there will be a trilogy bout should Fury level up the scores after tonight.

Fury's chilling message

Gypsy King Tyson Fury left a reporter stunned with his chilling threat to inflict "serious hurt" on Oleksandr Usyk in their rematch.

The Gypsy King cut a mean look at Wednesday's open workouts just days before his crucial bout with Usyk.

Reporter Claudia Trejos asked Fury: "What other surprises do we have for Saturday?"

And Fury replied: "A lot of pain."

A gobsmacked Trejos responded with "wow" before Fury added: "Smash and damage."

Fury, 36, then promised: "A lot of hurt. Hurt, serious hurt."

Money makes the world go round

Along with the pride and the belts, Fury and Usyk are also fighting for a whopping amount of cash… AGAIN!

It is expected that Usyk will receive a much higher pay split compared to his last fight against Fury.

This is because the Ukrainian is now the defending champion and is seen as the A side of the bill.

Reports suggest the total payout of the fight will be £150m - an increase of £35m compared to their first bout.

Ring the belts

There is a lot more than just pride on the line tonight as Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will be fighting for some of the biggest belts in heavyweight boxing.

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.

Meaning that this time around, with the IBF off the table, the two juggernauts will be fighting for three of the four major belts:

• WBO
• IBO 
• WBC

There are also the WBA (Super) and The Ring Magazine belts on the line.
