Usyk beats Fury

Oleksandr Usyk is still the reigning and undefeated WBO, WBC and WBA Heavyweight champion after beating Tyson Fury.

All three judges scored the match 116-112.

However, in a world first an AI judge, in a move orchestrated by Turki Alalshikh, scored the bout even wider, making it 118-112 in Usyk's favour.

In a match that could have gone either way with Fury dominating the early rounds, Usyk came back in the second half to steal it from the Gypsy King.

Fury was easily able to keep Usyk at bay with his reach advantage till the later rounds when the champion turned up the heat and started ducking under the jabs to deliver solid body shots to Fury.

Usyk would usually leave thing to the last 20 seconds before hitting the challenger with a barrage of shots sending him to his corner winded.

The Heavyweight champion says his wife helps him, his children too.

He says today, his two sons have won competitions in judo.

Usyk says his son told him 'Papa, you next, he said'OK".

He dedicated his win to his mother and all the mothers of Ukraine.

During Usyk’s post match interview International Boxing Federation Heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois interrupted him saying he wanted his rematch.

Usyk defeated Dubois in the 9th round with a stoppage last August.
