WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury will collide with WBA, IBF, and WBO titleholder Oleksandr Usyk atop the “Ring of Fire” pay-per-view (PPV) boxing event this Sat. night (May 18, 2024) in Saudi Arabia, and both combatants are scheduled to appear at today’s final press conference in Riyadh.
The LIVE stream gets underway at 2 p.m. ET in the embedded video above.
“It feels absolutely fantastic to be in the great Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, I’m feeling fantastic,” Fury said during this week’s Grand Arrivals (watch them here). “I can’t wait to put a good show on. There’s so many people coming. It’s such an event. All the big stars are here. It’s going to be epic. I can’t wait for Saturday night.”
Fury insists this is the most important fight of his career.
“If I was fighting an old dosser on Saturday night who had five fights and lost them all, it would be very important to me,” Fury continued. “Every fight I’ve ever had is important to me. Every little fight along the way was important to me. I believe that every left and right turn I’ve ever taken in my life, every time I’ve fallen over, and every time I’ve climbed up was all leading to this moment. It’s destiny.”
