RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA. After a long time wait, there will finally be a highly anticipated match up that boxing fans have been dying for. The best up against the best. For a long time, there has been criticism towards boxing not being the same anymore.

Professional Boxers have been known for ‘protecting their 0’. Meaning, they are not willing to put their undefeated record on the line, especially against an opponent who has also never faced defeat.

Tyson Fury holds a record of (34-0-1, 24 KOs).

Oleksandr Usyk holds a record of (21-0-0, 14KOs).

Fury has a knockout percentage of 69% and Usyk has a knockout percentage of 67%.

When looking at this statistic, it is very close between the two.

These two are set to battle it out on February 17th. In Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
