Turki Alalshikh, Chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority, has confirmed a rematch between undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury, set for December 21 in Riyadh.

The last encounter between the two fighters saw Usyk defeat Fury by a split decision on May 18, becoming the first undisputed champion of the four-belt era. With this victory, Usyk now holds the IBF, WBO, WBA, and WBC titles, making him the first unified heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999.

However, Alalshikh noted on his official X handle on Wednesday that the venue for the rematch has yet to be finalized. "The world will watch another historical fight again," Alalshikh added on X. "Our commitment to boxing fans continues. We hope you enjoy it."

This contest will give Briton Fury, 35, the chance to avenge his first career defeat in his 16-year professional tenure against Usyk. It is unlikely that all four belts will be on the line in the rematch, as the IBF plans to strip Usyk of his title for not facing its mandatory challenger next.
