Oleksandr Usyk defended his titles to beat Tyson Fury in their rematch by unanimous decision.
The Gypsy King couldn't avenge his defeat in May, when he suffered a similar fate, but started strong in Riyadh as he looked to stop the Ukrainian for the first time in his career.
Fury's promoter, Frank Warren, took umbrage with the decision from the judges after Fury was said to have won four rounds. Both the reigning champion and Fury will be forced to sit out from boxing action in the coming weeks. This means because the fight went the full eight rounds, they will have to rest for a minimum of 24 days. After the fight, Fury and Fury will be assessed by medical professionals to ensure they have not suffered any serious injuries.
