What time is Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk struggle – UK begin time for ring walks
Tyson Fury will meet Oleksandr Usyk in a huge undisputed heavyweight title fight in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Both fighters are putting their unbeaten records on the line tonight (Saturday, May 18) in the first undisputed heavyweight clash since Lennox Lewis defeated Evander Holyfield in 1999. Fury currently holds the WBC title while Usyk puts the WBA, IFB and WBO belts on the line.
The Gypsy King’s last fight was an uninspiring split decision victory over Francis Ngannou in October, despite the UFC star knocking him down. While Usyk recorded a KO victory against Brit Daniel Dubois back in August last year after winning his world title belts after beating Anthony Joshua in 2021 before successfully defending them the following year.

Ring walks are expected to begin around 11pm BST, which is 1am in Riyadh, meaning the fight will get underway at approximately 11.15pm BST, though timings are subject to change. The eight fight undercard is set to begin at 5pm BST.

What they’ve said
Fury: “Oleksandr Usyk is a great fighter – Olympic gold medallist, cruiserweight world champion, heavyweight world champion. But unfortunately for him he’s coming up against the great Tyson Fury – in the era of me. Even if he had 20 million people screaming his name, they cannot fight for him on the night.
“When there are two men in there on the night it’s going to be very daunting when he’s got the undertaker in the ring with him. I’m coming for you sucker.”
Usyk: “I feel good. Each event brings with it a new experience. It’s always a wonderful, great, and new experience for the team. I don’t have a final message for him. I will save it for Saturday.”
