From scorecard outrage to hailing a goat and some optometry - how fans and celebs reacted to Oleksandr Usyk's victory over Tyson FuryDAZN

So there we have it, Oleksandr Usyk victorious over Tyson Fury for a second time in 2024.

Usyk retains the WBC, WBO and WBA heavyweight titles and remains undefeated. Fury must get over a second loss of his career, both to the same man.

As expected, it was another epic fight that lived up to the billing and anticipation, keeping everyone watching around the world gripped. 

One of the biggest talking points was the unanimous decision verdict and the scale of the three judges' scorecards, all going at 116-112 to the champion.

Frank Warren, Fury's promoter, was left surprised and angry by the scores, telling DAZN: "How does Tyson only get four rounds in this fight? It is impossible to only be given four rounds. It is nuts for the scores to be like that."

As you would expect, the result, thrilling action, and those scorecards had everyone talking with some incredible reaction from the world of boxing, celebrity and optometry.

Here are some of the best reactions across social media from the big fight.
