# Betfred announced as Usyk-Chisora title partner

Matchroom Boxing have announced Betfred as the official title partner for Oleksandr Usyk’s highly-anticipated heavyweight clash with Dereck Chisora at The SSE Arena, Wembley on Saturday October 31, shown live on Sky Sports Box Office in the UK and DAZN in the US. \
\
Pound-for-pound star Usyk (17-0, 13 KOs) made the move to heavyweight after dominating at cruiserweight, winning all of the major belts in an extraordinary spell that saw him crowned the undisputed champion. \
\
The 2012 Olympic Gold medalist is determined to become a two-weight champion but first faces Chisora (32-9, 23 KOs) who is coming into this fight off the back of KO wins over Artur Szpilka and David Price. \
\
Fred Done, Owner of Betfred, said: “We enjoy a fantastic relationship with Barry Hearn’s Matchroom Sport through our sponsorship of snooker and darts, so I am delighted to be joining up with Matchroom Boxing for what should be a superb heavyweight clash.”\
\
Eddie Hearn, Managing Director of Matchroom Sport, said: “Betfred have been a huge supporter of Matchroom events over the years, especially through their world championship snooker partnership and I am delighted to welcome them onboard for this huge fight next week, and look forward to delivering them unprecedented global exposure and a thrilling night for Betfred and fight fans around the world.”
