- The road to Fury vs Usyk
Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk's fight for the undisputed heavyweight title will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Box Office on Saturday February 17.
The 'Ring of Fire' fight will take place at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and is the biggest fight that can be made in boxing.
Between them, Fury and Usyk hold all four of the major heavyweight world titles, making this the most anticipated fight in 25 years.
The winner stands to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis beat Evander Holyfield in November 1999.
Sky Sports Managing Director, Jonathan Licht, said: "Sky Sports is the undisputed home for sports fans, and with our long history of broadcasting the biggest bouts in boxing history, it's only right we're bringing the most anticipated fight in 25 years to our customers.
"With Fury v Usyk, as well as two further world championship fights on the card, it's set to be a truly momentous occasion and we can't wait to watch."
Britain's Fury first became a unified world champion when he sensationally defeated Wladimir Klitschko in 2015.
He never lost those titles in the ring but they became vacant when he didn't box for more than two years.
Fury made a remarkable return in 2018 and controversially drew with Deontay Wilder that year. Fury beat Wilder in a rematch to win the WBC title and triumphed again in a sensational 2021 trilogy fight.
The following year he headlined two stadium fights in London, stopping both Dillian Whyte and Dereck Chisora to defend his title.
