Oleksandr Usyk successfully defended his heavyweight world titles with a points victory over Tyson Fury in an absorbing rematch.
Oleksandr Usyk ’s rematch with Tyson Fury did not disappoint An inspired Oleksandr Usyk successfully defended his heavyweight world titles and further cemented his legendary status with a unanimous points victory over Tyson Fury in a compelling rematch. Defending his WBA, WBO and WBC belts, Usyk was the more reserved of the two fighters in the opening exchanges but fought back emphatically in the closing rounds to keep his 100 per cent career record intact.
A cagey second round exploded with Usyk shaken by a powerful Fury shot at the death before Ukrainian responded well in the third, seemingly unmoved by the Gypsy King’s early dominance. With blood streaming from Usyk’s nose, Fury continued to test the older fighter’s defence with his jab before the two rivals exchanged a pair of enormous blows in a breathless finish to the fourth round.
