The wait is almost over, Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are just days away from their highly-anticipated fight.
The undefeated fighters meet in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on May 18 (May 19 in NZ and AUS) live on DAZN PPV, with the victor becoming the first-ever undisputed heavyweight champion of the four-belt era.
DAZN has a star-studded lineup to take you through the rounds, with Kiwi heavyweight Joseph Parker joining the last undisputed champion of the world Lennox Lewis on the DAZN broadcast team alongside the likes of Kate Abdo, Todd Grisham, Chris Mannix.
Fury believes he is the more determined fighter as he prepares to face Usyk.
Both men are undefeated, but Fury has no doubts about his chances of emerging victorious.
"Why will I win? Because it's what I do. I win, win, win no matter what," he told Sky Sports. "I've always won.
"What I deliver is victories. Whether it's by an inch or a mile, I deliver every time. Sixteen years as a pro, I've been delivering my whole life. They should call me the midwife because I always deliver."
As expected for what will be a historic night for boxing, it's an undercard full of exciting matchups with two further world title fights set to take place.
In the co-main event, Australian Jai Opetaia and Mairis Briedis will meet for a second time for the vacant IBF cruiserweight title, and before this contest IBF world super featherweight Joe Cordina will be defending his belt against Anthony Cacace.
Another name set to feature on the undercard is New Zealand's hottest boxing prospect, OLY and Commonwealth Games gold medalist David Nyika who will face the undefeated German Michael Seitz.
One should expect to see more of a focused Nyika as he plans his rise in the Cruiserweight division.
