TYSON FURY's highly anticipated fight with Oleksandr Usyk has been confirmed.
The two boxers will fight for all four heavyweight marbles as the date and venue have finally been revealed.
It is the first time in history that all four belts, the WBA, WBC, IBF and the WBO, will be put on the line.
The victor of the mouthwatering showdown will become the undisputed heavyweight champion in over 25 years.
Fury is putting his WBC belt on the line, while Usyk is risking the three belts that he won off Anthony Joshua back in 2022.
It is not the first time that there has been a unified champion, but it will be since all four belts have been in existence.

Another said: "What a fight."
And another said: "Should’ve been in December."
One remarked: "Boxing might just be back."
One fan predicted: "Fury always bounces back from bad performances.
"I think the sparring sessions with Jai Opetaia in Fury's camp will prepare him for Usyk's speed. Fury points/late stoppage."
Fury will get a hefty payday from the fight as he is set to earn £50million.
However, there is also a clause in the deal for a rematch which would see the Gypsy King pocket ANOTHER £50m.
It would see Fury add to his fortune which already received a huge boost from the £65m that he made from fighting Ngannou.
Usyk goes into the fight undefeated having won all 21 of his fights, giving him a perfect record of 21-0.
Fury also has an unblemished record but has drawn one, against Deontay Wilder in 2018, to his name – putting his record at 33-1-0.
Usyk has confirmed that his last fight will be against Fury if he wins as he has signed a contract to play football in Ukraine.
