Tyson Fury is aiming to avenge the only defeat of his professional career when he takes on Oleksandr Usyk
Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury collide once again tonight as The Gypsy King aims to attempt to put himself back on the top of the heavyweight pile and become a three-time world champion.
The English heavyweight was defeated for the first time in his professional career when he was outpointed by his Ukrainian rival in their undisputed clash back in May. On that occasion, Usyk took home all four major belts but only three titles will be on the line back in Saudi Arabia tonight with the other champion Daniel Dubois sitting at ringside.
Usyk comes into the rematch as the favourite having turned round an early deficit seven months ago to almost stop Fury in the second half of their showdown. There is also plenty of action on the undercard with Moses Itauma taking on Demsey McKean and Johnny Fisher facing Dave Allen.
The fights will be streamed on DAZN and you can purchase the event here. The main event is expected to commence around 10.30pm Irish time.

McGrail on the front-foot early on here. Mixing his shots well. His strikes to the body have been superb. The styles are complimenting each other nicely.
That said, Edwards is well in this fight and is landing some good shots, particularly those straight, stinging strikes which catch McGrail off-guard.
Great pace from both men so far.... cracking fight!
Fast start from both men here. McGrail's fast hands have been on the money so far, but Edwards has returned fire with a few right hands himself. Despite stepping in on short notice, Edwards is clearly fight ready and doesn't look out of place in the ring.
Undefeated star Rhys Edwards, despite taking the call on short notice, appears confident and is raring to go as he makes the walk to the ring.
Peter McGrail is now making his entrance to the squared-circle. Walking out to a crack tune I must say... 'Dancing in the Moonlight.' A huge opportunity for Peter to deliver on the big stage.
Peter McGrail was due to take on Dennis McCann but the latter was forced out of the fight after failing a drugs test just days before the event. That said, McGrail will remain on the card and is now scheduled to take on undefeated star Rhys Edwards. McGrail suffered the first defeat of his professional career last year against Ja'Rico O'Quinn. But with two wins under his belt this year, the Liverpudlian is full of confidence as he looks to hand Edwards the first loss of his professional career.

Usyk's friend and training partner Daniel Lapin will be one of the opening acts later this evening in Riyadh. At 10-0, the Ukrainian star isn't traditionally known for his finishing ability.

He faces a step up in competition when he takes on Dylan Colin - who is yet to taste defeat inside the squared-circle,
