And in a bout fit for that mantle, Fury and Usyk played out a thrilling battle with both fighters in control and also struggling at various points in the fight.

Usyk started on top before showboating Fury won the middle rounds and appeared to be well on top.

However, a brutal ninth-round volley saw Usyk badly rock Fury and swing momentum back his way by forcing a standing eight count.

With four major world titles up for grabs, both men gave it their all in one of the best fights in memory.

It went to the judges with the fight ending in a controversial split decision going in the Ukrainian’s favour – 115-112, 114-15, 114-113.

Now, seven months later, they brace to do it all over again back in Riyadh.

But the IBF belt will not be at stake this time as Usyk was forced to vacate it to proceed with the contracted re-run.

Will all heavyweight titles be on the line in the rematch?

This time round, however, it will NOT be an undisputed heavyweight title fight.

This is because Usyk vacated the IBF title following his win so the mandatories for the belt could get their shot.

Daniel Dubois was upgraded to the IBF heavyweight champion, and has since defended it in dominant fashion – knocking out Anthony Joshua at Wembley Stadium in front of a British record 96,000 crowd.

So it is only Usyk’s WBA, WBC and WBO heavyweight titles up for grabs.
