The two heavyweight kings renew hostiles in perhaps the biggest fight the sport has to be offer as the ‘Gypsy King’ looks for revenge.
Fury was dealt his first professional defeat back in May, with the Ukrainian great edging a victory on points to become the first undisputed champion the heavyweight division has seen since Lennox Lewis reigned supreme at the start of the millennium.
Undisputed honours, however, are not on the line after Usyk vacated the IBF title which was later won by Daniel Dubois following his brutal knockout of Anhtony Joshua in September.
Still, it’s a money-spinning fight for both fighters and they are reportedly in line for bigger paydays than from their first showdown.

Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury 2 purse split explained
According to The Sun, Fury banked around £85million last time out and Usyk pocketed roughly £30million.
Now, the two are said to be in line to split a huge £150million.
Usyk will reportedly take the bulk of that following his victory earlier this year, although the exact split is yet to be revealed.
