Tyson Fury is to rematch Oleksandr Usyk later in the year as he attempts to overturn the only loss of his career.
Fury was a long-unbeaten boxer and two-time world champion who never lost his belts in the ring.
He picked up his first titles after beating Wladimir Klitschko in 2015 and lost them due to inactivity when he spent two years away from the sport battling mental health demons.
Upon his return, he soon reclaimed world honours during an epic three fight saga with Deontay Wilder, the first of which was a controversial draw and the second two he won by stoppage to win then defend his WBC title.
It was only back in May when taking on the former undisputed cruiserweight champion Usyk that he came unstuck, losing over 12 close rounds.

The pair will now do battle once more out in Saudi Arabia in December and ahead of that former undisputed heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis gives Fury ever chance of bouncing back when the two meet again.
‘Fury will learn from this [loss] and he’ll be back! Losing is also part of the game, it’s how you respond to a loss that makes all the difference.’
Fury has himself claimed that he was having too much fun in the first fight and will be better the second time around.
If ‘The Gypsy King’ can come through against the Ukrainian and rival Anthony Joshua can beat Daniel Dubois for the IBF title when the two fight at Wembley later this month, the long-awaited grudge match between the pair for all of the belts could take place next year.
