Oleksandr Usyk has beaten Tyson Fury by split decision and is the first boxer to become undisputed heavyweight champion since there are four belts at stake. This distinction has been made since 2007 and since that period these have been the fighters who have become absolute kings of their category.
From the outset of Saturday’s fight in Saudi Arabia, it appeared as though Fury’s superior size and reach would be decisive. The early rounds showcased Fury‘s exceptional boxing technique, contradicting the pre-fight expectations that Usyk’s skill would outmatch the larger man. Fury’s masterful distance management and crisp jabs kept Usyk at bay, while his powerful body shots landed with authority.
