What time does the main event fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury start?

Tyson Fury is out for revenge against Oleksandr Usyk when the boxing heavyweights go head to head for a second time on Saturday, December 21 at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The duo return to the scene of their first battle, which saw the Ukrainian bring the Englishman’s unbeaten professional boxing record to an end, all the while maintaining his own.

Prior to their meeting in May, Fury had won 34 of 35 pro bouts, the other being a draw against Deontay Wilder in 2018. Usyk inflicted a first ever defeat on his opponent and extended his winning record to 22-0, which he will now put on the line this Saturday, when the WBO, WBA and WBC titles will be up for grabs in Riyadh.

Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury: full card

Usyk against Fury is the main event, although there are a host of preliminary bouts on the undercard:

The first of those - Alakel vs Ocampo - was scheduled for 10:00 a.m. / 7:00 a.m PT, with the final undercard bout between Bohachuck and Davis expected to start at around 4:30 p.m. ET / 1:30 p.m. ET.

Usyk vs Fury: estimated start time

As ever, each bout will have an effect on the start time of the next one, so the times indicated are approximate. It is anticipated, however, that the main event ring walks will take place at approximately 6:00 p.m. ET / 3:00 p.m. PT, with the in-ring action getting underway a short time later.

A second straight victory for Usyk means a third meeting would be unlikely, while a triumph for the English boxer may lead to a best-of-three decider in the not-too-distant future.
