One of the biggest rematches in combat sports today will finally unfold this afternoon (Sat., Dec. 21, 2024) LIVE on DAZN pay-per-view (PPV) from inside Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, when heavyweight superstars Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury meet once again atop a massive card overseas.
This will be a rematch of their first encounter back in May of this year. While that contest ended up resulting in a split-decision win for Usyk the Ukrainian champion looked much better than the scorecards might indicate. In fact, he nearly stopped Fury with a barrage of punches in the later rounds, but “Gypsy King” was able to lean on the ropes and keep himself from falling over.

The rematch is expected to produce even better results for eager fight fans looking to close out 2024 with an absolute bang. Fury has packed on nearly 20 extra pounds for the rematch and has vowed to send Usyk to the hospital. Usyk, who stands to earn about $100 million to defend his heavyweight titles again, has looked completely unfazed in the build-up to the rematch. Something is going to break between these two and fight fans will be the main beneficiaries.
Ahead of Saturday afternoon’s main card, DAZN will roll out an undercard countdown show LIVE and FREE on YouTube. The coverage is set to begin around 10:30 a.m. ET and can be seen in the above video player. The DAZN PPV card is expected to start at 11 a.m. ET (details HERE).
