The heavyweight championship rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury took place today, and MMA News has you covered with all the action.

Nine months on from their first showdown, which an undisputed heavyweight king crowned for the first time since Lennox Lewis was stripped of the title in 2000, Usyk and Fury renewed hostilities in Saudi Arabia this week.

The pair collided in a memorable 12-round affair this past May, with the Ukrainian falling on the right side of a split decision to add the WBC title to his WBA (super), IBF, WBO, IBO, and The Ring belts.

With “The Cat” vacating the IBF gold a month on from his win over the previously undefeated “Gypsy King,” undisputed status wasn’t on the line today. Nevertheless, Saturday’s rematch in Riyadh wasn’t be short on stakes.

In the end, it was once again Usyk having his hand raised, this time with all three scorecards going in his favor.

With the event concluded, see below for the full results, followed by all the highlights.

After carrying out the second PFL Europe regular season and playoffs, the Professional Fighters League’s first continental expansion has brought the SmartCage back to France for the 2024 Championship.

A few weeks on from the conclusion of the PFL’s global season at King Saud University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the LDLC Arena in Lyon will play host to PFL Europe’s final event of this year. Unsurprisingly, a number of France’s own are in action, and that includes Abdoul Abdouraguimov at the top of the lineup.

Victories over Brad Wheeler and Jack Grant since signing with the PFL have moved “Lazy King’s” overall record to 18-1. The highly touted 29-year-old will look to further extend his winning run at the expense of former UFC veteran Laureano Staropoli in Friday’s main event.

Elsewhere on the card, the second PFL Europe welterweight, lightweight, and bantamweight kingpins will be crowned, in addition to a singular queen at 125 pounds as one woman looks to succeed Dakota Ditcheva and follow her path to global glory next year.

While the event will be available on DAZN for select countries, it unfortunately won’t be available for audiences in the United States. But you can still follow along with the action below.
