The undercard for the much-anticipated rematch between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, scheduled to take place on 21 December in Saudi Arabia, has been unveiled, showcasing several promising British boxers, The Independent reported. Headlining this thrilling undercard, heavyweights Moses Itauma and Johnny Fisher are set to extend their undefeated streaks against formidable opponents. Nineteen-year-old Itauma will face Australia’s Demsey McKean, in what will be a significant test for the young prospect known for his knockout prowess, boasting eight stoppages in ten fights. Meanwhile, Johnny Fisher will clash with fellow Briton Dave Allen, a seasoned veteran aged 32, who has a 31-fight record including six losses and 23 wins.
Additionally featured is Dennis McCann, who remains unbeaten in 17 matchups and will take on Peter McGrail in a captivating super-bantamweight bout. Interestingly, the undercard will also include contests such as Isaac Lowe versus Lee McGregor in the featherweight category and a super-welterweight bout featuring Israil Madrimov as he seeks redemption against Serhii Bohachuk.
As Tyson Fury aims to reclaim his heavyweight titles from Usyk after losing to the Ukrainian seven months ago in their first intense encounter, this electrifying event will feature battles for the WBC, WBA, and WBO heavyweight titles. With Usyk having secured his legacy as the first undisputed heavyweight champion in 24 years by outpointing Fury and having retained his unified titles, this rematch in Riyadh promises to be a high-stakes clash for both pugilists seeking dominance in the boxing world.
