🌺Saturday night will see one of Tyson Fury or Oleksandr Usyk crowned as the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the world since Lennox Lewis in 2000, and the first in the four-belt era.

Both fighters head into the bout unbeaten in their careers and at at the peak of their powers ahead of this weekend's highly anticipated fight, taking place in Saudi Arabia's capital city.

🐟Fury heads into the weekend as the ever-so-slight favourite, being the current holder of WBC heavyweight title as well as the current lineal champion.

The 35-year-old Brit stands at 6'9", six inches taller than his opponent on Saturday night, and heads into the bout having won each of his last eight fights, the most recent of which being a split decision victory over Francis Ngannou in October, which was also at the Kingdom Arena.

That victory leaves 'The Gypsy King' with a record of 34-0-1 with 24 knockout victories, the sole draw coming in the first of three fights against Deontay Wilder back in 2018 in Los Angeles, in which he was challenging for the WBC title he now holds.

Usyk heads into the Saturday's fight, which has been billed Ring of Fire, as the current WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, IBO and The Ring heavyweight champion, while also being rated as the boxing magazine's third best pound-for-pound fighter in the world.

൲The Ukrainian also one of only three fighters in history to have unified the cruiserweight world titles and become a heavyweight world champion alongside Evander Holyfield and David Haye.

The 37-year-old southpaw hasn't fought competitively in almost eight months, when he retained all five of his titles by defeating Daniel Dubois in Poland inside nine rounds back in August.

That most recent victory means 'The Cat' takes a 21-0 record into Saturday's bout, with 14 of those victories coming by knockout.

Fury is the slight favourite heading into the bout at 4/5, while Usyk is only just behind in talkSPORT BET's odds, priced at evens.
