How to use a VPN to watch your usual stream
Following a long and chaotic build-up, fans will finally have the chance to watch two of the most skilled fighters on the planet fight for the chance to be crowned undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. The last time that was achieved was back in 1999 by Lennox Lewis.
Fury would love nothing more than to emulate his fellow British fighter and secure the undisputed tag but will expect a tough night against Usyk. The 37-year-old was a dominant force at cruiserweight before stepping up to heavyweight and securing two dominant victories over Anthony Joshua.
The fight is a PPV in most countries. Fans in Ukraine, however, can watch Fury vs Usyk live on Megogo with a 14-day trial. Traveling abroad? You'll need a VPN to watch your usual stream from overseas.
Fury vs Usyk news
Fight week is well underway and on Wednesday in Riyadh, both fighters played mind games during an open workout by switching stances. Oleksandr Usyk boxed in orthodox throughout which was followed by Tyson Fury using a southpaw stance.
Thursday then saw the heavyweight attempt to land some verbal jabs during a press conference. Many were expecting fireworks but both appeared laser-focused as they showed plenty of respect.
"Let's make history. Enough. Thanks very much," declared Usyk. Asked if he had a message for the Ukrainian, Fury added: "God bless him. I'll say a prayer for him before the fight for us both to get out of the ring safely."
After a low-key press conference, Friday's weigh-in was far more dramatic as Fury (262lbs) shoved Usyk (223lbs) as the two came face-to-face. The British fighter then launched an expletive-ridden rant as tensions threatened to boil over.
Fortunately, the pair were separated and now the wait to see who is crowned undisputed champion is nearly over.
