Oleksandr Usyk solidified his legacy as one of boxing’s greats by defeating Tyson Fury in their heavyweight championship rematch on Saturday.
Known for his precision and tactical brilliance, Usyk earned a unanimous decision victory with all three judges scoring the fight 116-112 in his favour.
The Ukrainian’s performance, marked by relentless pressure and effective left hooks, improved his unbeaten record to 23-0, including 14 knockouts.
Usyk’s win further underscores his remarkable career, which already includes an Olympic gold medal and the title of undisputed cruiserweight champion.
While the WBA, WBO and WBC belts were on the line, Usyk relinquished his IBF title earlier to prioritise the rematch with Fury.
This victory follows his historic win in May, where he became the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the four-belt era, joining legends like Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis and Mike Tyson.
For Fury, the loss raises questions about his future. The 36-year-old, who now holds a record of 34-2-1, previously announced his retirement in 2022 before returning to the ring.
With this defeat, the Briton faces an uncertain path forward in his boxing career.
