Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk fight date, tickets, start time and undercard

Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will clash in one of the biggest heavyweight fights of all time when they touch gloves on April 29.

Fury will put his WBC belt on the line at Wembley Stadium while Usyk will throw his IBF, WBA and WBO straps into the mix at the national stadium in London. The winner will be crowned the best heavyweight on the planet - and the first to hold all the belts.

Negotiations had dragged on with an agreement looking unlikely until Usyk surprisingly agreed to accept just 30 per cent of the rivals' multi-million-pound purse - in return for a £1million donation to his war-torn homeland of Ukraine.

The rivals had been in talks to take their undisputed world title fight to Saudi Arabia but a deal could not be agreed with the Middle Eastern state. Their respective promoters turned their attention to the UK with Wembley the obvious host having previously staged Fury's all-British clash with Dillian Whyte and several of Anthony Joshua's world title fights.

"Usyk, middleweight, you say you want the WBC (belt)... it’s held by the ‘Gypsy King,’ and it’s held tightly, grasped tight. All roads lead to a seven-foot bear that will absolutely destroy you, middleweight. Middleweight, you will get smashed to bits! You say you wanted to fight me after you beat the bodybuilder, called me out on television, and now you’re being a little b**** p**** boy, running, hiding, saying you’ve got injuries. You ain’t got no injuries, you had a sparring contest. You let your mouth go, now let’s back it up. See if you can back it up, middleweight."

"I can have three more fights at the very most. It is the most realistic to be in my top form. With Fury, Canelo [Alvarez] and a farewell fight at Olympiyskiy. I only need to beat Fury and then it is time to retire for me. The unification of all the belts is much more important than just a fight or another defence. I want to outbox Fury and I don't want to work that much just for another defence. There is much more that I can achieve."
