On October 12 in Chicago there will be a long-awaited heavyweight debut of one of the best P4P fighters in the world the former cruiserweight king Oleksandr Usyk (16-0, 12 KOs). Living legend got his resonance in the US so as the evening of boxing, in which he will fight in the main event against former excellent kickboxer Tyrone Spong (14-0, 13 KOs), as almost all the tickets have already been sold.

Wintrust Arena where DAZN evening will take place can accommodate 10,000 spectators. Initially, the market entered 6000 seats, but the demand for them was so great that the organizers had to issue a new ticket pool. Currently, less than six hundred tickets remained, they say the arena can be filled completely, because the last ticket pool has already entered the market.

If Usyk defeats Spong, in the next fight he can meet the winner of December rematch between Anthony Joshua and Andy Ruiz Jr. The Ukrainian is currently the mandatory challenger for the WBO belt. The Organization gave him that status in June because he was a "super champion" in cruiserweight.
