There is plenty of heavyweight action coming up in the next few months, not least the undisputed clash between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.

That historic meeting will be the first undisputed battle in 24 years and it arrives on February 17, though was somewhat delayed after Tyson Fury was pushed much harder than expected by former UFC champion Francis Ngannou back in October.

Before that night, famously hard-hitting American Deontay Wilder also makes an overdue return to the ring with his first bout in over a year and only his second in just over two years.

It comes against Joseph Parker, who has been praised for taking the fight, on the huge card in Saudi Arabia on December 23 that also features his long-time rival and fellow former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua versus Otto Wallin as well as Jarrell Miller versus Daniel Dubois and Dmitry Bivol against Lyndon Arthur.

Should ‘The Bronze Bomber’ win, he wants to fight Joshua and then challenge for a world title, but who will have the belts by that time is anybody’s guess.
