The first pair of boxers who will perform on the undercard of the fight for the title of absolute world champion between the WBC heavyweight champion has been determined Tyson Fury and holder of WBO/WBA/IBF/IBO titles Alexander Usik.
The IBF world champion in the second featherweight division will compete in a head-to-head confrontation Joe Cordina (17-0, 9 KOs) from Wales and IBO title holder Anthony Cacace (21-1, 7 KOs) from Northern Ireland. In his last fight, Cordina defeated Edward Vasquez. Cacace defeated Damian Wrzesinski before the fight with Cordina.
The Usik-Fury fight for the title of absolute heavyweight champion will officially take place on February 17 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Initially, the fight was planned to be organized on December 23 in Riyadh. However, it later became clear that Tyson would not have time to prepare for this time after the fight with Francis Ngannou at the end of October.
Fury defeated Ngannou via split decision. It was reported that the Briton received two cuts in a fight with the former UFC champion.
Usik fought his last fight on August 27 in Wroclaw, Poland. The Ukrainian knocked out Daniel Dubois in the 9th round and defended his championship titles.
