Heavyweight Boxing Champions Fury, Usyk, Joshua and Wilder Could Feature on Same Mega Card in Saudi Arabia

Contracts for separate matches between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, and Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder signed; fights could occur in Saudi Arabia in a potential mega event as early as April 2024.

• Contracts have been signed for an unprecedented double bill featuring heavyweight boxing champions Tyson Fury, Oleksandr Usyk, Anthony Joshua, and Deontay Wilder, potentially taking place in Saudi Arabia around April 2024.
• The fight between Fury and Usyk will determine the first undisputed heavyweight champion in the four-belt era, with Fury currently holding the WBC title and Usyk the WBA, WBO, and IBF titles.
• Separately, plans are underway for Anthony Joshua to take on Deontay Wilder, but no date or venue has been confirmed yet.
• Fury must first come through a non-title bout against MMA star Francis Ngannou, after which he will start preparing for the fight with Usyk.
• Before taking on Wilder, Joshua plans to fight an unnamed opponent in December in London, following his recent victories over Jermaine Franklin and Robert Helenius, after consecutive defeats to Usyk.
