Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are set to collide on December 21.
The Ukrainian denied Fury in his bid to become the undisputed champion of the division, winning the fight by split decision.
In round nine, a lovely combination left “The Gypsy King” in huge trouble and stumbling across the ring before he was given a count by referee Mark Nelson.
To his credit he recovered to see out the fight but ultimately lost his WBC and undefeated record in the process.
Team Fury quickly activated the rematch clause and now the heavyweights will fight again in Saudia Arabia just before Christmas.

And, former world champion Amir Khan believes the British heavyweight will be better in the rematch.
Speaking to Fastest Payout Online Casinos he said:
“Tyson Fury will do a more clinical job in winning the fight in the rematch. I think he will go back to the game plan, and he will fix himself up.”
“He’s the underdog now and he has to go in and prove he’s the champion. And I really believe he will. He has it in him, that Gypsy blood, they’re tough.”
