Saudi Arabia General Directorate of Entertainment head, Turki Alalshikh, confirmed the date for the second fight between the WBA, WBO and WBC world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (22−0, 14 KO) and Tyson Fury (34−1−1, 24 KO).

The rematch will take place on Dec. 21, the organizer announced.

"Fury VS Usyk 2. REIGNITED ... 21-12-2024," he wrote.

December 21 was a probable date, but not final, it was reported earlier.

Usyk defeated Fury by a split decision of the judges in the first fight.

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.

For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
