Heavyweights Moses Itauma and Johnny Fisher will feature on the undercard of Tyson Fury's rematch with Oleksandr Usyk on 21 December in Saudi Arabia.

Itauma will take on Australian Demsey McKean, while Fisher will face fellow Briton Dave Allen.

Both Itauma and Fisher are undefeated in their careers and have been touted as the next generation of heavyweight stars.

Also on the undercard is Dennis McCann, who fights Liverpudlian Peter McGrail in an intriguing super-bantamweight contest.

McCann is undefeated in 17 fights while McGrail has just one loss in 11 contests.

Fisher, 25, takes on a seasoned veteran in 32-year-old Allen, who has six losses, two draws and 23 wins on his record.

Fisher has 11 knockouts in 12 wins, while 19-year-old Itauma will also be looking to extend his stoppage record.

Itauma has eight knockouts from 10 bouts and McKean represents a big step up in quality for the teenage prospect.

The southpaw has one defeat - against Filip Hrgovic last year - in 23 bouts.

Firstly, respect Master and the time he takes to tell us the card!

How in the world isn’t the WBA involved in this HW title?

[TIC]

the wba super world heavyweight belt should be involved. who says it's not?

[Mark TKO]

Liked usyk showing up today as 47. You can't but like him.

There was a maturity about Fury today I thought and a different kind of attitude. Long time till fight time mind.

Mcrae is as great as he ever was and nails it once again.

[Primo Carnera]

What do you reckon about Itauma v McKean ? I know you’ve been rating McKean on here, Itauma is a great prospect, should be a good fight.

[TIC]

i don't think i ever rated demsey on here. i was happy to see him finally step up against filip hrgovic but he showed exactly where i thought he was at. a step up for moses. we saw demsey fight in survival mode against filip so it'll be interesting to see if moses can get him out early. i should really be moses itauma v johnny fisher but eddie don't want to burst that bubble yet

Just a domestic undercard aside from solid co main. Did they tighten the purse strings on Turki lately? Doesn't exactly speak of "saving boxing" . David Allen brought out of the cooler for a ppv eh . Missed a mass opportunity to have a Zhang or Parker etc. on the side of a high profile undisputed (mostly) anticipated rematch. At least they finally fixed the poster with Fury's mug now in the challenger position. Favoritism 101.

i think the first image might be an old one. the latest announcing the undercard has tyson's name first

In either case Fury should be billed secondly as the prior loser and challenger. I'm also convinced again that Usyk should not trust the cards. Could go all tinfoil hat and think it a subtle tell of favoritism, Fury with "reignited" under him and Usyk with "undercard" but that would just be nutty.
