We are a little over a week away from the first undisputed heavyweight title fight in almost 25 years. Tyson Fury will be taking on Oleksandr Usyk in Rydah, Saudi Arabia, on May 18. Although there will be a few different subscription-based options to purchase the event titled “Ring of Fire,” PPV.com will once again host without the need for a subscription for $69.99 in the U.S. and Canada.
