An incredible year of boxing concludes with what is set to be an epic rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury, which will be live on DAZN Pay-Per-View, which is available to buy now.
The heavyweight pair meet again on Saturday December 21 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia with Usyk's IBO, WBC and WBO world heavyweight titles on the line.
The Ukrainian won the first bout in May in Riyadh by a split decision to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Brit Lennox Lewis in 1999. At the same time it inflicted Fury's first professional defeat.

The first fight in two decades to crown the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world had everyone salivating and it did not disappoint.
Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury showed their class as generational talents, delivering an intriguing and gripping battle, that ebbed and flowed, with both taking turns to get on top, and the fight going the distance.
The Gypsy King was floored by Usyk in the ninth round. While Fury recovered, it proved a crucial moment in the contest, with the Ukrainian claiming victory on points, with a split decision.
The scorecards read 115-112 and 114-113 to Usyk, while the third judge gave the fight to Fury 114-113.
