Moses Itauma and Johnny Fisher will join the undercard for Tyson Fury’s rematch against Oleksandr Usyk on December 21 in Saudi Arabia. Itauma will face Australian Demsey McKean while Fisher will fight fellow Brit Dave Allen. Both fighters remain undefeated in their careers and have earned recognition as potential future stars in the heavyweight division.

The undercard also features Dennis McCann, who will compete against Liverpudlian Peter McGrail in an exciting super-bantamweight matchup. McCann boasts an undefeated record of 17 fights while McGrail holds one loss in his 11 bouts. Fisher, 25 will battle the experienced 32-year-old Allen, who carries a record of 23 wins, 6 losses and 2 draws.

Fisher has achieved 11 knockouts in his 12 victories, showcasing his knockout power.
