The day of redemption is upon us, and it’s nothing like the last time. It’s the time when a certain version of Tyson Fury shows up, especially during rematches—a methodical, dominant, and focused killer. There is no trash-talking, no theatrics, and if anything, you can feel the intensity of the fight. It’s a war in waiting, and it’s today.
Fury, 36, will try to exact revenge on Oleksandr Usyk and claim all the gold straps except the IBF one, which now lies in Daniel Dubois‘ hands. The year is about to end with a bang with this fight, and EssentiallySports has you covered if you want to watch it live.

Usyk vs. Fury 2 will happen on Saturday night, December 21, at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh. It’s the same arena where Usyk, 37, emerged victorious in a closely contested affair and became this century’s first heavyweight undisputed champion. For Fury, it’s a place of bad memories, where he got dropped by Francis Ngannou and then was handed a defeat by Usyk. Will it finally become a venue of good fortune for the British fighter? Fans will try to witness it live this Saturday. But when can you do it?
The American fans will have to adjust and juggle their timings, as the event coverage starts at 11 am ET and they can watch the undercard unfold at noon ET. But if you are occupied somewhere and don’t want to miss out, then you can tune in around 5 pm ET for the main event walkout. The British fans can plan their evening well, as they can sit before screens at 5 pm GMT and watch the undercard live. The main event timings, if you are joining live from the UK, would be around 10 pm GMT. Now, if you have your timings sorted, how can you watch it?
Usyk vs. Fury 2: tickets, price, and where to watch it?
With its association with Riyadh Season, DAZN will be your first choice. But you can also alternatively switch to TNT Sports Box Office or Sky Sports Box Office if you are a UK resident. The event is a PPV offering, where you have to shell out $39.95 on DAZN, and you wouldn’t require a prior subscription, too. The same price for the UK fans will be £24.99.

Interestingly, Usyk vs. Fury 1 has a staggering PPV price of $69.99, and HE Turki Alalshikh has decided to expand the boxing fans’ base and prevent illegal streaming. That’s the reason why we have slashed PPV prices. However, the only question is whether the undercard is worth the PPV price. You can scroll below, have a look, and make the call yourself.
Usyk vs. Fury 2: undercard details
Serhii Bohachuk vs. Ishmael Davis
The supporting act to the event might look weak right now, but it initially had Israil Madrimov, who had to bow out because of an injury. Both the former world champions had the best platform to prove their worth and climb back to the top. The same stays true for Bohachuk, who now has to make some stylistic adjustments to adjust to Davis’ style. Meanwhile, Davis has the opportunity to shine without pressure.

Moses Itauma vs. Dempsey McKean
Itauma, 19, is the next big thing in the heavyweight division, and he is making every opportunity count. The Slovakian-British boxer has justified his moniker ‘Britain’s Mike Tyson’ with his record of 10-0 with 8 KOs and will try to bag another KO fight and move up in the ranks. If there is one fight that you can be sure of a knockout result, it’s this.
