After Oleksandr Usyk’s split-decision victory over Tyson Fury saw him become the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the four-belt era, all eyes are already on the rematch.
The Ukrainian got the better of 5he Gypsy King in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, May 18 and almost finished the fight in Round nine after knocking Fury down.
Usyk retained his WBO, WBA and IBF titles, winning Fury’s WBC belt to become the first undisputed champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999.
There was always going to be a rematch whatever the outcome, but it has now been confirmed in an announcement from Turki Alalshikh on Wednesday.
Whether all four belts will still be on the line is another question, with the IBF saying that the first match’s winner would have to face mandatory challenger Filip Hrgovic or face being stripped of the title.
