The highly anticipated heavyweight championship fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, originally scheduled for an earlier date, has been postponed due to a severe cut Fury sustained during sparring. The bout has been rescheduled for May 18th in Saudi Arabia, with both fighters facing a ยฃ10million financial penalty if they pull out of the fight. A unique World Heavyweight Undisputed Champion Belt, unveiled by His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, will be awarded to the winner. The belt represents the undisputed WBA, WBC, IBF, and WBO heavyweight world titles. In the lead-up to the rescheduled date, Usyk missed the birth of his daughter while in training camp but is now set to return home briefly before resuming preparations. Meanwhile, Fury has demonstrated his commitment to the fight with a notable body transformation and has denied using an old picture to show off his physique. Usyk has issued a warning to Fury, indicating that he will have to play by his rules from now on. Fury has returned to the UK only three months before the Usyk Undisputed bout.
