On Saturday the 18th, the long-awaited fight will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It will unify the heavyweight belts for the first time in 25 years. Tyson, in his presentation of the fight, points out that "it's all about the money." But the truth is that the winner of this fight will go down in boxing history. Usyk, cool and focused, is thinking about Saturday.

Former unified heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis has once again criticised Anthony Joshua for choosing Francis Ngannou to face him in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on 8 March.

Anthony Joshua now has a real fight on his hands – not in the ring but for the title of Sports Personality of the Year.

Former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson has branded the idea of professional boxers competing at the Olympic Games as "ridiculous" and "foolish", claiming they would lose against amateurs.

Lennox Lewis, himself a former Olympic boxing gold medallist, calls it "preposterous". Barry McGuigan, another distinguished ex-Olympian  who also became a world champion, condemns it as "crazy".
