Tyson Fury is fighting for his place in boxing history when he rematches Oleksandr Usyk next month.

The Usyk vs Fury II Riyadh Season event is live on Sky Sports Box Office on December 21.

Promoter Frank Warren told Sky Sports: “All the doubters, all the journalists were saying Usyk is now up there with all the legends of the sport, the Muhammad Alis, the Fraziers, the Foremans, the Joe Louis, as being one of the greatest and certainly the greatest of his generation.

“And I’m pleased they’ve said that because when Tyson beats him no one can debate the fact that he’s beat the best of his generation which will make him the best of his generation.”

“That punch, if he chucked that punch he hit me with maybe 100 times it would have not done any damage. But [that] one time it did,” he told Sky Sports.
