TYSON FURY and Oleksandr Usyk are all set to face off TONIGHT in what is expected to be a spine-tingling heavyweight bout – so it’s only right that each commentary team has a panel full of experts!

The Gypsy King will do everything he possibly can to get revenge in this super Saudi showdown.

Fury vs Usyk 2: Ring walk time, TV channels and undercard – all you need to know for big rematch

Usyk handed Fury his first-ever professional defeat earlier this year with a stunning split-decision win despite being taken to hospital immediately after with a suspected broken jaw.

Ukrainian powerhouse Usyk also became the first heavyweight undisputed champion this CENTURY for his troubles.

However, unlike last time, only three belts will be up for grabs as Usyk was forced to vacate the IBF title to allow mandatories to get their shot at winning it.

But one thing that hasn’t changed from the previous contest is that THREE major broadcasters will be covering the fight, and SunSport can reveal who represents each platform.

Who is on commentary for Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk 2?

Tyson Fury‘s huge rematch against TONIGHT Oleksandr Usyk will be shown live on DAZN, TNT Sports Box Office AND Sky Sports Box Office

And each major broadcaster has their own commentary and presenting teams for the mouthwatering Riyadh rematch.

DAZN

Major sporting broadcaster DAZN has confirmed that Kate Scott and Ade Oladipo will be lead presenters for the night.

And they’ll be joined by Andy Lee and Eddie Hearn as guest pundits.

In the commentary booth will be Adam Smith, who is back calling his first major fight since leaving Sky Sports following his battle with cancer.

Joining Smith will be ex-world champion boxers Barry Jones and Darren Barker.

TNT SPORTS BOX OFFICE

Laura Woods misses out for a second successive time, so Becky Ives is the lead presenter once again.

Woods was forced to watch from home earlier this year after suffering a freak accident on holiday.

But it is a much more positive reason as to why she is not available this time round – the presenting guru is pregnant.

Becky Ives will also have expert help from Carl Frampton, David Haye and Steve Bunce.

Darren Fletcher and Richie Woodall have been left in charge of commentary.

SKY SPORTS BOX OFFICE

Ever-present Anna Woolhouse is presenting for Sky Sports.

She’ll have Johnny Nelson, Matt Christie and Dave Caldwell in the studio alongside her.

What time are the ring-walks for Fury vs Usyk 2 and when does the fight start?

• Ring-walk times for Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk 2 is scheduled for 10pm UK time/5pm ET.
• This means that Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk’s huge fight should get underway approximately 15 minutes later – 10:15pm UK time/5:15pm ET.
• However, timings could change depending on the length of the undercard bouts.
• Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia is the allocated arena for this huge event and it can host around 26,000 spectators.
• The huge flight will be streamed on DAZN, Sky Sports and TNT but alternatively, SunSport will LIVE blog the full card.

Gavin and Stacey’s 2019 special takes joint third place for the most popular Christmas special this year[/caption]

The BBC

Fret not, TV addicts! Ahead of this year’s selection, a list of the most popular TV Christmas specials of all time has been revealed – and the choices are surprising.

With fans eagerly awaiting the return of the Gavin and Stacey finale this Christmas, you would be forgiven for assuming the fan-favourite would be number one.

In fact, taking the top spot for the most popular TV special ever is Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol. 

Starring Matt Smith and Karen Gillan, this top-ranking episode sees The Doctor and Amy Pond having only one hour to save a crashing spaceship before it’s too late. 

The episode aired on Christmas Day in 2010 and had over 12 million tuning in. 

The US Office’s Christmas special, Christmas Party, follows closely behind in second place. 

The episode, which aired back in 2005, shows Office boss Michael Scott on a mission to save the Christmas party from heading to boredom. 

The special was hugely successful and had over nine million viewers and almost 160,000 searches, the third highest number of searches overall.

Taking the trophy for third place is both Christmas at Downton Abbey and Gavin and Stacey’s 2019 Christmas special, A Special Christmas. 

Meanwhile Gavin and Stacey’s 2008 Christmas special was the most searched for special, with over 308,000 searches followed by Black Mirror’s White Christmas with over 208,500 searches.

Surprisingly, the Christmas special with the lowest number of worldwide searches was Friends: The One with the Girl from Poughkeepsie, despite a whopping 23 million viewers. 

The research, carried out by Betway, measured each episode’s popularity by a unique index score, based on ratings on IMDb, Amazon, number of viewers (per million) and number of searches worldwide – with the lower the overall index score the higher the ranking.

If you’re after something new to watch over the upcoming Christmas period, there’s also a raft of Christmas specials being aired, such as The Good Ship Murder, Bargain Hunt and For The Love of Dogs.

Doctor Who fans are also in for another treat as BBC Two are airing a special from the Proms at the Royal Albert Hall on Christmas Eve.  

Meanwhile The Weakest Link, Strictly Come Dancing and Wallace and Gromit are all airing specials on Christmas Day.
