We’re finally getting an undisputed heavyweight champion. The PPV event is about to start, and the two undisputed contenders will be entering the ring in a few hours. Boxing fans have been waiting 25 years for this to happen. Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs), the lineal champion and WBC and The Ring belt holder, fights Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs), who holds the IBF, IBO, WBA and WBO belts. It took years for this fight to manifest, and it was delayed multiple times, but on Saturday the fighters will finally take the ring and decide who is the undisputed king. Here’s how to watch boxing this weekend.
The broadcast of the Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk event is about to start, at 12:00 p.m. (noon) ET / 9:00 a.m. PT. There are seven fights on the card before Fury and Usyk step in the ring, all 10 or 12 rounds long. The broadcasters are estimating that the actual main event, Fury vs Usyk, will happen between 6:00 p.m. and 6:45 p.m. ET. Of course, technical difficulties have delayed the last several Riyadh events, so it could end up starting later. On the other hand, there are some heavy hitters on the undercard, and knockouts could speed things along.
This PPV is available on several platforms, including DAZN and ESPN+. You can take your pick. The PPV costs $70 on both platforms, and they both require you to have a subscription to the service. ESPN+ subscriptions are $11 per month or $110 per year. DAZN subscriptions have several payment options, including $30 per month, $225 per year, or a commitment to a year’s subscription with a monthly bill of $20. The PPV price changes depending on the country you’re in, but it’s $70 in the U.S.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
