What time does Usky vs Fury 2 start?

This is the headline fight on Saturday night, and the world will be watching to see whether it is repeat or revenge between Usyk and Fury. Two very different men with different styles, the Briton will hope to use his 6ft 9in frame to make more of an impression on the smaller man that he managed to in May. 

This one is set to begin at around 22:30 GMT, with the ring-walks set to get underway at that time. As we’ve seen with several fights in Saudi Arabia however, often we are treated to a musical performance that can go on for some time before the fighters make their entrance, so as always, take these start times with a pinch of salt.

How much money are Fury and Usyk making?

The purse for the first fight is thought to have been around £116m, with Fury taking home around 70 per cent of that given he was the A side. However, the tables have turned now Usyk is the reigning champion and this rematch should see a more equal split between the two prize fighters.
