The victor of next Saturday’s much-anticipated rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua, which takes place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, will now fill Tyson Fury’s vacant position as The Ring heavyweight champion.
Usyk, ranked No. 1 by The Ring at heavyweight, vanquished Joshua in September in a 12-round unanimous decision to win the IBF, WBA, and WBO championships.If he can duplicate that great triumph.
The former Ring cruiserweight champion from Ukraine would be the first to win the heavyweight edition.
