British professional boxer Tyson Fury says he will look to correct his record in the rematch against Ukraine’s Oleksandr Usyk next week.

Usyk became the undisputed heavyweight champion when he beat Fury through a split decision victory in their first highly anticipated fight last December.

One judge scored the fight 114-113 for Fury but was overruled by scores of 114-113 and 115-112 for the Ukrainian.

Usyk is the first unified heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis defeated Evander Holyfield in a 1999 rematch in Las Vegas.

Meanwhile, it was Fury's first defeat of his professional career.

Fans are saying the world will watch another historic fight again.

The heavyweight championship rematch between Fury and Usyk will take place next Sunday at 11am in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
