Tyson Fury and his road to undisputed glory

Fury has held the WBC belt since February 2020 and has notched three defenses of the title. He is also the lineal champion of the division and last put that up against boxing debutant/former UFC champion Francis Ngannou.

'The Predator' did lose via split decision but Fury has a lot to prove to many detractors heading into this showdown with IBF, IBO, WBA and WBO champion Usyk.

The native of the United Kingdom boasts a professional record of 34 wins with zero losses and one draw. The lone draw on Fury's ledger came against Deontay Wilder in their first fight in December 2018.

Their next two fights saw Tyson Fury win the aforementioned WBC title. Then after their sequel affair, 'The Gypsy King' finished 'The Bronze Bomber' for a second time to close out their vaunted trilogy.
