There seems to be one thing on everyone’s mind in the build up to the main card of the Ring of Fire event tonight in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are set to face-off at the Kingdom Arena tonight in their long-awaited undisputed heavyweight title face-off, as the main card of the boxing event.
However, there is one thing that fans have been complaining about, and that’s the waiting time for the main card, taking to X, formerly Twitter.
One posted: “When is this starting?”
Another said: “This undercard is long af omg”
A third put: “We’re not ‘moments away’ from from anything Michael Buffer, we’re about 15 or 20 minutes away at least.”
The undercard did take its time, and when most thought that the fight was starting and that we would see the Ukrainian and Brit make their way to the ring, American hip-hop artist J.I.D did a short show for an already frustrated crowd.
It is arguably one of the biggest heavyweight face-offs in the 21st century, with the winner set to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the world in 25 years.
