Four major world titles will be up for grabs for the first time with Fury holding the WBC strap while Usyk possesses the WBA, IBF and WBO belts.

The huge showdown was originally scheduled for February, but the Gyspy King received a bad cut to the eye, forcing him to postpone the bout.

Whoever loses on the night will have the opportunity to activate a rematch clause – but when is part two expected to take place?

When is Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk rematch taking place?

SunSport understands a TWO-WAY clause in place, meaning both men – should they lose – can contractually trigger a rematch.

And Saudi boxing chief, H.E. Turki Alalshikh, has confirmed that Fury vs Usyk part two has been pencilled in for the weekend of October 12/13.

Alalshikh plans to have the rematch to kick off another Riyadh Season.

Will all heavyweight titles be on the line in the rematch?

Should the rematch take place between Fury and Usyk, they won’t be competing for all the heavyweight titles.

That is because the winner of the undisputed bout will be stripped of the IBF strap in order for mandatory challenger Filip Hrgovic to finally compete for it.

It is not yet know when the belt will be stripped from the eventual winner, but it will happen before Hrgovic takes on Brit Daniel Dubois on June 1.
