Alexander Usyk will fight Tyson Fury in a rematch tonight at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The event airs live on DAZN PPV at 11:00am ET / 5pm UK time, but the main event between unified heavyweight champion Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) and Fury will take place in the United States It will take place around 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
Can Fury beat Usyk in a rematch?
Fury (34 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss, 24 KOs), who weighs 281 pounds, will try to avenge his loss to Usyk last May. This could be interesting if it's on the scorecards or if Fury gets injured like last time. Hopefully there will be no more controversy between them like the previous spat.

Edgar Ramirez vs. Andre Nowitzki
In the co-feature, Queensberry Promotions prospect and heavyweight contender Moses Itama (10-0, 8 KOs) will take on Demsey McKeon (22-1, 14 KOs). This fight was not as impactful as Serhii Bohachuk's fight against Ishmael Davis, which was a WBC junior middleweight title eliminator. This is much better than the Itamar-McKean conflict.
Itama, 19, is being quickly moved to take over for Fury and Usyk once they retire. He doesn't look ready to compete for a world title or take over from a top player. It's understandable why Itauma's promoters put him in a syndicated feature to increase his profile, as he's not seen outside the UK.
