On the night of December 22, a rematch will take place between Ukrainian Alexander Usik and Briton Tyson Fury.
Sports commentators call the fight “legendary”, “historic” and even “the fight of the millennium”. President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky via video link wished Usik victory.
The fight will take place in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadi. In May of this year, Usyk defeated Fury by split decision. This victory brought the 37-year-old boxer from Crimea the title of absolute world heavyweight champion.
Although many analysts consider Oleksandr Usik the favorite of the fight, Tyson Fury is trying to keep the intrigue, claiming that he is confident of his victory.
In May, Usik became the first absolute heavyweight champion in boxing history. Will he succeed a second time is a question that worries all boxing fans.
The winner of the Usyk-Fury rematch will receive a special “anniversary” belt from the WBC.
The award will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the classic super-heavyweight bout between George Foreman and Muhammad Ali, known as “The Rumble in the Jungle,” in which Ali handed the then-champion his first defeat in October 1974, winning the WBA and WBC belts.
Ukrainian fans will be able to watch the fight at 00:00 via the Megogo platform. This will be a convenient way to watch the fight right at home. The broadcast of the match will be available to subscribers of the “Optimal”, “Sport”, “Maximum” and “MEGOPACK XL” packages on the MEGOGO Gong channel in the “Martial Arts” section, as well as through the pop-up channel on the platform.
The worldwide broadcast of the fight will be provided by the global sports platform DAZN, allowing viewers from different countries to follow what is happening.
