Usyk became the undisputed heavyweight champion thanks to his ninth round onslaught last time.
But he has since had to give up one of his belts to Daniel Dubois, who then retained it by shocking the boxing world with a knockout win over Anthony Joshua.
There is still three titles on the line (WBA, WBO and WBC) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Saturday night.
Only one man can get their hands on the belts, but both Usyk, 37, and Fury, 36, are guaranteed to walk away with huge pay cheques.
What is Tyson Fury’s net worth?
Forbes claim his net worth is £40million – but others suggest it could be way higher.
Before his rematch against Usyk, the Gypsy King had already banked £39.5m this year.
That figure, which will rise, already makes him the 42nd highest paid sportsman in the world this year.
And it is not just mega-money fights where Fury makes his millions.

Fury was also well paid for his Netflix reality TV show “At Home with the Furys“.
Though he will not be giving his seven kids a penny, explaining: “I want my kids to get their own money, do their own things and be their own people.
“I don’t believe in just giving all your money to your kids but it will make them weak, spoiled and not value anything, worthless.
“They’ll end up getting to 35 and never having done anything for themselves, apart from spending dad’s money.”

Reports suggest the fighters are getting in the ring for a whopping £150m purse.
The split of that figure is not yet known, but having won their first meeting, Usyk could be taking home more than his rival this time around.
Fury has admitted money is the motivation behind this rematch.
