ESPN and Top Rank, in collaboration with DAZN, are set to bring boxing fans an epic showdown.
WBC/lineal champion Tyson Fury will face off against WBO/IBF/WBA ruler Oleksandr Usyk on ESPN+ PPV on Saturday, May 18, at 12 p.m. ET / 9 a.m. PT from Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Fans in the United States can purchase the event on ESPN+ PPV for $69.99. The fight will also be available on DAZN PPV.
This monumental clash is the fourth boxing event on ESPN+ from the ESPN and DAZN collaboration, following three successful events last year, including Day of Reckoning, the X Series PPV event, and Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz. The Fury vs. Usyk fight stands out as the most significant heavyweight battle of the millennium, with the winner becoming the division’s first undisputed champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999.

Tyson Fury returns to the ring following a closer-than-expected decision win over former UFC champion Francis Ngannou last October in Riyadh. Fury, who has held the lineal title since his unanimous decision victory over Wladimir Klitschko in November 2015, aims to solidify his legacy as the top heavyweight of his era.
Oleksandr Usyk, an Olympic gold medalist from Ukraine, seeks to become the second man, after Evander Holyfield, to achieve undisputed status at both cruiserweight and heavyweight.
