All four WBO, WBA, IBF and WBC heavyweight belts are on the line in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in what is a monumental event.
Some of boxing and sports’ biggest stars are expected to attend the clash to see Fury or Usyk crowned champion.
And former heavyweight champion Joshua will be joined in esteemed company in the form of football royalty.
Portuguese legend Ronaldo will sit alongside him for the fight, with the five-time Ballon d’Or winner having ‘CR7’ printed on his seat.

The Al Nassr star was previously spotted during Joshua’s victory over Otto Wallin in December alongside MMA legend Conor McGregor.
Fury’s controversial victory over Francis Ngannou also saw the two men collide, with both laughing together before pretending to confront each other.
This time however, Ronaldo will have the pleasure of being alongside Joshua for the undisputed heavyweight fight, with Saudi boxing chief SE Turki Alalshikh to his left.
Joshua will arrive with extensive knowledge of Usyk, having previously fought the Ukrainian twice, losing both clashes.

SE Alalshikh posted a photo with the 34-year-old on social media last month to hint at a potential fight with Saturday night’s winner.
Fury was scheduled to face Joshua in 2021, but was instead forced to face Deontay Wilder in a trilogy fight, which he won.
Talks then followed for the two Britons to meet a year later, but these broke down due to delays in signing contracts.
However, fans would have to wait even longer for a potential clash, as Fury is expected to face Usyk twice, per the rematch clause in their fight contract.
Tensions between the two were evident during their Thursday press conference when “The Gypsy King” refused to face his opponent.
The drama continued the next day when Usyk’s weight for the one wrongly advertised as the Ukrainian is actually 15st 9lbs (223lbs) instead of 16st 6lbs (233.5lbs), with Fury at 18th 7 pounds (262 pounds).
