Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk – aka Ring of Fire – for the undisputed world heavyweight title is as monumental a fight as is possible in boxing. For the first time since Lennox Lewis in 2000 — and the only time in the four-belt era — one person will own every strap in the sport's blue riband division. This is potentially the biggest PPV fight in history — and you can watch Fury vs Usyk live streams from anywhere with a VPN.

The build-up has already turned ugly. Tyson Fury's father, John, risked being sent home from Saudi Arabia after he headbutted a member of Oleksandr Usyk's entourage at a media event. The video has gone viral.

Unlike his old man, Tyson Fury looks in better shape than ever coming into the fight. Slow, ponderous and having clearly overlooked novice challenger Francis Ngannou last time out, the 35-year-old Gypsy King 35-year-old will look to use his size and reach advantages to dominate Usyk physically and detonate some of the fierce shots that caused Deontay Wilder so many problems. 

Usyk is tantalisingly close to making history as the first man to become undisputed at two different weights, having unified the cruiserweight division in 2018. The Cat has since beaten Derek Chisora and Anthony Joshua (twice) and most recently stopped Daniel Dubois last August. Will Usyk be able to live with the extra power Fury is going to bring?

We're now done with the undercard and are expecting the Fury vs Usyk ringwalks in the next 10-15 minutes. Make sure you're all sorted with the screen of your choice to watch which unbeaten fighter will become the first undisputed world heavyweight champion for a quarter of a century. 

The 'Fight of the Century' is nearly upon us. Here's where to watch Fury vs Usyk live streams from anywhere – in the U.S. or abroad.

Fury vs Usyk fight night updates

The Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk main event is up next, with ringwalks due in the next 10 minutes. Don't miss the biggest fight this century.

With the undercard well over, Jai Opetaia won a unanimous decision over Mairis Briedis to win the vacant IBF cruiserweight world title. Opetaia dominated the first two-thirds of the fight, but Briedis won the final three rounds and cause the Aussie a real scare late on. 

Anthony Cacace was the latest underdog victory of the evening, the Ulsterman stopping reigning champion Joe Cordina for the IBF super featherweight world title. In what was probably the fight of the evening, Cordina – looked drained from a big weight cut earlier in the week – struggled after being hit with a shot marginally after the referee called 'break', but Cacace was relentless in pursuit of his first world title.

Agit Kabayel impressed in stopping Frank Sanchez with two savage body shots to become number one contender for the WBC heavyweight title. Moses Itauma also won, as expected, to preserve his unbeaten record.

Unbeaten cruiserweight prospect Robin Sirwan Safar produced the best performance of his short career to beat former light heavyweight world champion Sergey Kovalev by unanimous points decision. The Swede detonated a bomb in the seventh and final round to clinch a well-deserved win that could put him in contention for a world title fight later in the year.

Fury vs Usyk news

Well, after years of will-they-won't-they, one February cancellation and plenty of chicanery this week, we're finally here. It's fight day, baby! Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk, with the undisputed world heavyweight title on the line for the first time since 1999.

"Whoever comes out on top, it doesn't matter. Boxing is the ultimate winner here," said Derek 'Del Boy' Chisora, who has fought both Fury and Usyk in his long career. "To have this many fans, all the way in the Middle East, it's going to be electric!"

Friday's weigh-in provided all the fireworks missing at the last press conference the night before. 

"I'm going to knock him f****** spark out," spat Fury. "I'm coming for his f****** heart. He's getting it tomorrow, spark out. They [his team] can all get it if they want it." With that, the Gypsy King stormed off stage.

Usyk responded in a typically calm manner. "Don't be afraid. I will not leave you along tomorrow," he said in response to Fury. "If I was nervous I wouldn't win."

The pair had to be separated by security, too, after the face-off – the pair meeting forehead-to-forehead – ended with Fury pushing Usyk to spark a melee.

There was also a problem with Usyk's announced weigh-in, promoter Alex Krassyuk has revealed. The Ukrainian's career-high career-high 16st 6lb (233 lbs), more than a stone heavier than his record, should actually have been called as 15st 13lbs (223 lbs). That's still a record but only by two pounds. 

A slimline Tyson Fury measured 18st 7lb, more than a stone lighter than for his most recent bout with Francis Ngannou, but still three stone more than his opponent.

You can catch up on all the action-packed weigh-in for Saturday's mega fight on DAZN or Queensbury Promotions' YouTube channel
