The heavyweight division has always been the pinnacle of boxing, defined by iconic champions like Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson. Dominating this dangerous and competitive weight class demands immense skill, power, and resilience. Staying at the top is even harder, as challengers are always waiting to seize their shot at glory. In this arena of legends, the stage is set for a monumental rematch: Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Fury.
The Ukrainian maestro looks to defend his WBC, WBO, and WBA heavyweight titles while preserving his undefeated streak. Fury, known for his size, agility, and mind games, is determined to reclaim dominance. Here’s a preview of what both fighters bring to the table and a prediction for this highly anticipated showdown.

His power punches land 8.7 per round at a 41.4% rate.
On the other hand, Tyson Fury holds a professional boxing record of 34-1-1, with 24 knockouts, maintaining a 70% knockout rate. Standing 6 ft 9 in with an 85-inch reach, the orthodox fighter has dominated the heavyweight division with wins over Deontay Wilder, Derek Chisora, and Dillian Whyte.
