Who will win the highly anticipated rematch between the two best heavyweights in the world, Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury? Revenge or repetition?
In May, Usyk made boxing history when he beat Fury by a split decision over 12 rounds to become the first undisputed world heavyweight champion in the modern 4-belt era. Usyk has since vacated the IBF belt after being pressured by the organization. Make no mistake though, Oleksandr is the only true heavyweight champion of the world. (Actually, he already has a win over IBF heavyweight title holder Daniel Dubois).
Their first fight was a very competitive and entertaining battle, closely contested where Usyk and Fury both had hits. The big difference in the official result was the iconic moment in round 9, where Usyk had Fury badly hurt with a left hand. Usyk then went on an extended flurry against Fury, as he staggered from one side of the ring to the other, Usyk pounding him throughout his relentless pursuit. Fury finally landed in the ropes, at which point the referee officially ruled a knockdown. At the end of the night, Usyk was awarded a split decision win over 12 rounds. Two judges scored it for Usyk, 115-112 and 114-113, while the third judge generously scored the bout for Fury 114-113.
