The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh Season and DAZN have set the stage for a monumental boxing event dubbed “Ring of Fire,” broadcasting live globally on DAZN on February 17. In a historic encounter, WBC and Lineal Champion Tyson Fury and WBO/IBO/IBF/WBA Unified Champion Oleksandr Usyk will vie for the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion title, a feat not achieved since Lennox Lewis in 1999. This clash marks the first time all four belts will be contested in the heavyweight division, promising to etch a new chapter in boxing history.
The spectacle, including the main event and undercard, will be accessible worldwide as a pay-per-view on DAZN, including in the UK and US, with additional UK pay-per-view options through TNT Sports and Sky Sports. Tyson Fury, with his unbeaten record (34-0-1, 24 KOs), aims to continue his legacy after triumphant battles against Deontay Wilder. Ukraine’s Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs), stepping up from Cruiserweight dominance, seeks to solidify his heavyweight legacy by targeting undisputed status, a journey highlighted by his victories over Anthony Joshua.
The event, hosted at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, will also feature high-stakes matchups including Sydney’s Jai Opetaia in an IBF world title rematch against Mairis Briedis, Joe Cordina defending his IBF Super Featherweight World Champion title against Anthony Cacace, and Sergey Kovalev’s cruiserweight bout against Robin Sirwan Safar. The “Ring of Fire” promises to be a global spectacle, with Riyadh Season and DAZN ensuring an unparalleled viewing experience for boxing fans around the world, underscoring the event’s significance and the collaborative effort to bring such a landmark fight to fruition.
