Tyson Fury’s rematch with Oleksandr Usyk will take place on Saturday December 21 in Riyadh.
This was announced by Saudi Arabia’s chair of General Entertainment Authority Turki Alalshikh.
Usyk emerged victorious via split decision when the rivals met earlier this month to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999. It had been well-publicised in the lead-up to the fight that the Fury-Usyk contract included a rematch clause.
