In a recent interview on Ariel Helwani's MMA Show, the new date for the highly anticipated heavyweight title bout between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk was finally announced. Originally scheduled for February 17, the fight had to be postponed due to a nasty cut Fury sustained during sparring. But fans can now mark their calendars for May 18, as that will be the day these two heavyweight giants collide in the ring.
The location for the fight remains unchanged, with Riyadh, Saudi Arabia playing host to this monumental event. This comes as no surprise, considering the recent surge in high-profile fights taking place in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia has been positioning itself as a major player in the world of combat sports, drawing in top athletes and hosting marquee matchups.
