Background:
- Usyk defeated Fury in the first fight and emerged as the undisputed world champion in the heavyweight division. Tyson landed more punches, but Oleksandr was more accurate.
- Later, promoter Bob Arum confirmed that Fury had invoked the rematch clause.
- The only question that has not yet been resolved is whether all four belts will be on the line in the second fight. Usyk's team has already asked the International Boxing Federation to make an exception.
