Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk PPV price confirmed as UK fans learn DAZN and Sky Sports fee
The UK PPV price for Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk has been confirmed.
The highly anticipated heavyweight unification fight is set for May 18, 2024, after the original February date was missed due to Fury suffering a cut in training days before the bout.
The WBC, WBA, WBO, and IBF titles are on the line in Saudi Arabia as the division's first undisputed champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999 will be crowned.
UK viewers can watch the bout on either DAZN UK or Sky Sports Box Office.
The DAZN UK PPV price for new subscribers has been set at £24.99, which includes a one month DAZN subscription that usually costs £19.99. Existing DAZN subscribers will be charged £23.99, a saving of £1.
The fight is priced at £24.95 on Sky Sports Box Office. Both prices are considerably cheaper than the USA PPV, which sets fans across the pond back by $69.99 (£55.61).
Fury recently described Usyk as “a real bad man”, telling Queensberry Promotions: “To underestimate Usyk you'd be a mug. So I'm training hard for him, I'm doing everything I can. I respect Usyk as a man. I respect his career as well - Olympic champion, undisputed cruiserweight champion, unified heavyweight champion.
"You have to respect that, I'm fighting the real deal. I'm looking forward to the challenge. He's a southpaw, he's got good footwork, good boxing ability, technically sound. He's proved he can mix it with the big heavyweights because he's beat Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois.
"I'm messing with an elite fighter who's got more than boxing ability. He's stubborn and he wants to win like I do. All of the talent and attributes aside, it will come down to who wants it most on the night. If he wants it more than him, he'll win and if I want it more than him then I'll win. I just think my will and determination will be more than his on the night."
