Who will win the highly anticipated rematch between two of the world’s best heavyweights, Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury? Revenge or repeat?
Back in May, Usyk made boxing history when he beat Fury via a 12-round split decision to become the first undisputed world heavyweight champion in the modern 4-belt era. Usyk has vacated the IBF belt following pressure from the organization. Make no mistake, however, Oleksandr is the one and only true world heavyweight champion. (In fact, he already has a victory over the reigning IBF heavyweight titleholder, Daniel Dubois).
Their first fight was a very competitive and entertaining close-fought battle where both Usyk and Fury had plenty of success. The big difference in the official results was the famous moment in round 9, where Usyk was badly hurt by his left hand. Usek then went on a long rampage against Fury, as he staggered from one side of the ring to the other, with Usek hammering him in constant pursuit. Fury eventually ended up in the ropes, at which point the referee officially ordered the knockdown. At the end of the night, Usyk was awarded a 12-round split decision. Two judges scored it 115-112 and 114-113 for Usk, while a third judge gave it a generous 114-113 for Fury.
