[.Watch.]* ~ Agit Kabayel vs. Frank Sanchez LIVE FREE Online Fight card, odds, [PPV 2024]
The undisputed heavyweight showdown is back on. Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are set to meet on Saturday night in Saudi Arabia with all four recognized titles in the heavyweight division at stake. The fight was first set to take place in February, but a cut suffered by Fury in training camp delayed the matchup by three months. The teams have arrived in the Middle East ready to finally decide who the best heavyweight in the world truly is.

Both men enter the fight coming off scares in their 2023 campaigns, with Usyk being dropped by Daniel Dubois only for the referee to rule the shot a low blow and allow Usyk time to recover. He then stopped Dubois in Round 9.
Fury was forced into a much tougher spot in October when his undefeated record barely survived a fight with former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou. Ngannou scored a knockdown and did enough to win plenty of rounds, though Fury ultimately took a split decision victory. While Fury's title was not on the line, a loss would have been even more embarrassing than narrowly escaping with a win in a fight he was expected to dominate.
The undercard also features a pair of title fights along with some more intriguing matchups that could set up title challengers later this year.
Joe Cordina (17-0, 9 KO) will defend his IBF super featherweight championship against Anthony Cacace (21-1, 7 KO). Cordina won the belt in June 2022 with a Knockout of the Year contender over Kenichi Ogawa but was stripped due to injury. He defeated Shavkat Rakhimov to regain the title this past April with a split decision and retained the belt with a majority decision win over Edward Vazquez in November.
Plus, Jai Opetaia (24-0, 19 KO) and Mairis Briedis (28-2, 20 KO), both former cruiserweight champions, will clash over the IBF cruiserweight title in a rematch. Opetaia and Briedis were supposed to meet for over one year as Opetaia held the IBF belt, but injuries kept the fight from coming together. In December, the IBF stripped Opetaia of the title for fighting Ellis Zorro on the undercard of the heavyweight supershow in Saudi Arabia headlined by Anthony Joshua vs. Otto Wallin as they wanted Opetaia to wait to fight Briedis instead.
