Usyk can secure another win against Fury by knocking him out.

On Saturday, Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury are set to face off in Saudi Arabia for their highly anticipated rematch. The fight, which falls on Boxing Day, is happening earlier than usual this year and has fans eagerly awaiting the outcome. However, there is also concern that Liam Gallagher may once again cause controversy by performing old Oasis songs before the main event.

The first showdown between these two heavyweight champions in May was nothing short of spectacular. It was a highly anticipated match that lived up to the hype, resulting in Usyk claiming the WBA, WBC, WBO, and IBF belts in a split decision. Fury may have contested the decision, but it was clear to anyone who watched that he was outboxed in the later rounds and even hit the canvas in the ninth round.

This time, the IBF belt will not be on the line as Usyk had to relinquish it in order for the fight to happen. The belt is now held by Daniel Dubois, who impressively defeated Anthony Joshua. Fury's defeat in May was his first as a professional, and it was a major blow to his previously sensational career. Prior to this loss, he had beaten the likes of Deontay Wilder, Wladimir Klitschko, and Dillian Whyte, boasting a record of 34 wins and one draw.

Standing at 6 feet 3 inches tall, Fury has a notable height and reach advantage over Usyk, who is only 6 feet 3 inches. However, Usyk's impressive boxing skills and record of 22 unbeaten fights, including wins against top opponents such as Dubois, Joshua, and Tony Bellew, cannot be ignored. If Fury wants to come out on top, he will have to utilize his height and reach advantage to the best of his abilities, constantly keeping Usyk at a distance with powerful jabs. But it's clear that Usyk is not one to be underestimated.

Looking ahead, it's important for the heavyweight boxing scene that the winner of this rematch goes on to face Dubois in another unification fight. However, with the unpredictable nature of boxing, it's hard to say what the future holds.

In other news, Luke Humphries has started the defence of his World Darts Championship crown with an impressive 3-0 victory against France's Thibault Tricole. He is now the favorite to successfully defend his title, but he will face tough competition from world-class players like Fallon Sherrock, who is set to face Ryan Meikle on Tuesday. While some may still hold on to the hope of a Sherrock victory, the odds are in favor of Meikle, who is ranked number 62 in the world.

As for Fury, he has confirmed that his next fight after Usyk will not be against Anthony Joshua, dealing a major blow to boxing fans who were hoping for this highly anticipated match. It's clear that Fury is focused on avenging his loss to Usyk and will not make any changes to his team, choosing to stick with his father John as his trainer. Only time will tell if this will be a winning decision for Fury.
