The winner of the Ring of Fire will be crowned as the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the 21st century. So as you can expect, the stakes are quite high.

The WBC champion, Tyson Fury clashes with WBA, WBO, IBF, and IBO champ Oleksandr Usyk tonight in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This historic fight comes after a year of anticipation following several delays. Now, the stage is set for one of the biggest nights in boxing. Here is everything you need to know about the matchup.

The Heavyweight Division is back in all its glory

‘The Ring of Fire’ card, put together by His Excellency, Turki Alalshikh, is all set to happen at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh. It is a lavish venue that was built in a landmark 180 days and can accommodate about 30,000 attendees. It has hosted some of the biggest fights lately, like the fight between Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou, last year’s ‘Day of Reckoning’ card, and even Fury’s previous fight with Ngannou. This will be the second for Usyk in Saudi Arabia. His last fight was in Jeddah against Anthony Joshua in 2022. This just may be a crowning moment for the heavyweight division that had lost some of its previous lustre and was seen as being in a bit of a slump since the late 90s.

In Riyadh, the undercard is slated to begin today, 18th May, at 7 PM. For fans in the UK, they will have to tune in at 5 p.m. for the undercard. On the other hand, American fans can watch the event beginning at 12 p.m. ET and 9 a.m. PT.
