Tyson Fury will attempt to avenge his first professional defeat tonight when he takes on Oleksandr Usyk for a second time. Fury was in control of the rivals' first fight until Usyk roared back in the ninth round to almost stop his heavyweight rival. The Ukrainian became the division's first undisputed champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999 but was quickly forced to give up one of his belts.

30pm Quotes corner Tyson Fury : "I’m expected to do it. When I beat Klitschko, I was expected to get the floor wiped with me. Beating this fellow, for losing by one point in my last fight on a split, .
.. not a great night for me.
It wouldn't be the end of the world . It wouldn't be like, oh my God, massive upset. I finish stronger than him in Round 12.
He got carried back to the changing room, believe it or not. He was smashed to bits. I’ve got a picture on my phone, three days later I never had a mark on me.
Three days later, he was butchered, broken jaw, broken eye socket, the lot. And that’s not even me at my best, nowhere near. I feel sorry for the lad, honestly.
They’re talking about trilogies, but [the beating I’m going to put on him] on Saturday night, he’s going to be moving back down ...
I’m sure on that. But then again, money talks all languages, doesn’t it? There’s a lot of dough involved, so he might want to take another good hiding." Oleksandr Usyk : "I feel good.
It continues, the 13th round because I feel like this. Tyson Fury too had a chance in the sixth round, maybe the seventh round, maybe 12th, 11th, first, second. But Tyson did not do it.
It's just talk. Tyson said I had the chance. Yeah, no problem.
We have a second fight, I'll try.".
