Fury failed to defend his unbeaten status against Usyk, what does his record look like ahead of this weekend's rematch?
35-year-old British fighter Tyson Fury will step into the ring on Saturday to face Oleksandr Usyk in a highly anticipated rematch, aiming to reclaim his WBA title and secure the WBO, and WBC heavyweight titles after suffering the first loss of his career earlier this year.
The road to this undisputed fight was anything but smooth for the Gypsy King. Once a teen struggling to make the British Olympic team, Fury rose to prominence in professional boxing despite early doubts about his ability to compete at the highest level.
Despite bursting onto the professional scene with a string of victories, concerns were raised after he was knocked down by Neven Pajkic in 2011 and cruiserweight Steve Cunningham in 2013.
However, his remarkable agility for his size, defensive skills, and sheer determination silenced critics, earning him an unbeaten streak of 35 fights until Usyk's split-decision victory in May.
Now, Fury looks to prove his resilience and reclaim his place at the top of the heavyweight division.

Tyson Fury now holds a record of 34-1-1, with 24 knockouts (71% knockout percentage).
The Gypsy King took a two-and-a-half-year hiatus from boxing to address personal issues following what many considered his greatest victory—a unanimous decision over Wladimir Klitschko in 2015 to claim the IBF, WBA, and WBO world titles. Tonight, he fights for two of these three belts once again after Usyk was forced to vacate the IBF title in June.
After returning to the sport in 2018, Fury reignited his career with a thrilling trilogy against Deontay Wilder, earning two wins and a draw to claim and then defend the WBC title that he lost to Usyk most recently.
He later knocked out Dillian Whyte and Derek Chisora to retain his belt, followed by a split-decision victory over UFC-turned-boxer Francis Ngannou in a fight where a third-round knockdown briefly threatened Fury's dominance.
Earlier this year, Fury suffered his first career defeat in a closely contested fight against Oleksandr Usyk. Despite controlling the early rounds, Fury was outboxed in the latter stages and hit the canvas in the ninth round from a powerful left hand.
Usyk’s superior stamina and precision ultimately swayed the judges, earning him a split-decision victory and making him the first undisputed heavyweight champion in over two decades. Fury now seeks redemption and the chance to reclaim the titles.
