Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk PPV price confirmed as UK fans get better deal

The PPV prices for UK and US viewers for Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk's May 18 heavyweight unification fight have been confirmed. The two heavyweight champions will meet in Saudi Arabia later this month, with the winner being crowned the undisputed heavyweight King. 

The DAZN UK PPV price for Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk on May 18th will be £24.99 and that deal also comes with a one-month subscription. However, existing customers will get the fight on PPV at £1 cheaper. As for US viewers on DAZN and ESPN+, they'll be set back more, with the PPV price standing at £55.65.

WBC King Fury is expecting a tough fight, which was originally scheduled for earlier this year. The February meeting was scuppered by a nasty sparring cut sustained by Fury and so it was rescheduled for May. "Oleksandr Usyk's a real bad man and to underestimate Usyk you'd be a mug," he told Queensberry Promotions. "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."

Fury won three of the four world titles when he defeated Wladimir Klitschko in 2015. He'll have the chance to get his hands on all four. "To win them all back again would be fantastic," he added. 

"To get them all under one banner for the first time in 25 years... there have been a few heavyweight champions since then who haven't been able to get undisputed. It's a very special moment, especially for heavyweight boxing to have all the belts on the line and two unbeaten champions."

To get the better of Usyk, Fury will have to be on his A-Game after overcoming a scare against MMA star-turned-boxer, Francis Ngannou, last year. Ngannou managed to score a knockdown on the boxing champion only to lose via split decision. "[Tyson] got clipped in the [Ngannou] fight but he did what a champion does and that is get back into the fight. He's got a good chin, recovers and won the fight," Fury's promoter Frank Warren told Sky Sports.

"I wouldn't look too much into that Ngannou fight. With Tyson, that's probably his worst performance as a champion, against Ngannou. You look at all his other performances and he's raised his game."
