Fury v Usyk: Stacked card confirmed for rescheduled undisputed heavyweight title clash in Saudi Arabia

There’s a stacked card confirmed for the undisputed heavyweight clash between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk on May 18.

The Briton - the undefeated WBC champion - and his Ukrainian rival who holds the remaining three major straps, finally meet in Saudi Arabia in two months.

The pair had been set to fight on February 17 but a cut to Fury’s eye led to the bout being rescheduled to give him time to heal.

Saudi Arabia has fast become the venue to hold the biggest fights, and that has also led to some unusually star-packed undercards with Queensberry and Matchroom working together to field their strongest fighters on joint cards.

Fury vs. Usyk is no exception, as the supporting fights have now been confirmed, with plenty of heavyweight talent and some world titles on the line.

Frank Sanchez and Agit Kabayel, both undefeated with 24 wins to their name, put their blemish-free records on the line.

Elsewhere Jai Opetaia will take on Mairis Briedis at cruiserweight to contest the vacant IBF championship, and Joe Cordina will hope to retain his super-featherweight title against Ireland’s Anthony Cacace.

Mark Chamberlain takes on Joshua Oluwaseun, and there is also a chance to see 19-year-old heavyweight prospect Moses Itauma, who takes on Ilja Mazencev.

Elsewhere, David Nyika battles Michael Seitz at cruiserweight and English featherweight Isaac Lowe is set to face Hasibullah Ahmadi.

Lastly, former light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev is up against the undefeated Robin Sirwan Safar as he moves up to cruiserweight.
