Usyk vs. Fury 2: What happened in the first fight
The first fight in two decades to crown the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world had everyone salivating and it did not disappoint.
Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury showed their class as generational talents, delivering an intriguing and gripping battle, that ebbed and flowed, with both taking turns to get on top, and the fight going the distance.
The Gypsy King was floored by Usyk in the ninth round. While Fury recovered, it proved a crucial moment in the contest, with the Ukrainian claiming victory on points, with a split decision.
The scorecards read 115-112 and 114-113 to Usyk, while the third judge gave the fight to Fury 114-113.
While it was Fury's first career defeat, it gave Usyk all four heavyweight belts, the first time an individual has held all four in 25 years.
Usyk eventually had to give up his IBF belt to Daniel Dubois, meaning December's fight will not be for the undisputed crown, but the IBO, WBC and WBO titles will be on the line.
