The Gypsy King has already been forced to postpone the fight twice after a close run affair with Francis Ngannou left him shaken up and a sparring injury to his eye led to a second delay.

As well as having a huge main event for the Middle East match-up, fans can look forward to some exciting fights on the undercard in Riyadh.

Two IBF titles are up for grabs before Usyk and Fury take to the ring for their undisputed clash.

And big name fighters such as Joe Cordina and Jai Operaia will be donning their gloves to entertain the Saudi crowds and try and maintain their flawless records.
