Usyk vs Joshua 2: Ring Magazine title on the line after Tyson Fury vacates

You may not be buying Tyson Fury’s handful of retirement announcements this year, the most recent of which came late last week after reports of a potential fight with Derek Chisora in December, and you wouldn’t be alone.

The Ring have accepted that he’s vacated their heavyweight championship, though, and the vacant title will now be on the line for this coming Saturday’s rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua.

Usyk (19-0, 13 KO) will also be defending the WBA, IBF, and WBO titles against Joshua (24-2, 22 KO), the man he beat to take them in Sept. 2021.

The rematch will be taking place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Sky Box Office will have the fight on pay-per-view in the United Kingdom, and DAZN are expected to carry it elsewhere, including the U.S., though as of this moment that still isn’t fully official or announced.
