Usyk defeats Fury: Superlative boxing match in Saudi Arabia!

In a spectacular boxing match that kept the world in suspense, Oleksandr Usyk successfully defended his undisputed heavyweight title! On Saturday evening in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the Ukrainian champion Tyson Fury unanimously defeated it and remains unbeaten!

The judges Gerardo Martinez, Patrick Morley and Ignacio Robles unanimously had the same number of points from 116-112 for USYK. A clear victory that underscored the dominance of the Ukrainian in this highly expected rematch! Usyk landed 179 out of 423 strokes - that is an impressive 42 percent! Fury, on the other hand, could only bring 144 out of 509 strokes, which means a hit rate of 28 percent.

a fight full of emotions

USYK, who was visibly relieved after the fight, said: "I win, that's good. It is not my thing to question the scores. Thank you, God." The struggle that was considered a rescue to Fury's first defeat in May kept what he promised: tension from the first second!

But the spectacle started before the first gong hit! Usyk's team had asked the Middle East Professional Boxing Commission to force Fury to stop his beard - a beard that reminded Santa Claus more than a box champion! But Fury came undorated in a bright red Christmas coat and with Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas is You" to the Ringmittel!

The fight itself was a real exchange of blows! Fury started strongly and controlled the first two rounds. But Usyk countered in the third and fourth round with precise body hits and powerful combinations. Especially in the sixth round, Usyk showed his class and faltered the larger Fury twice!

fury fights, but usyk remains calm

In the second half of the fight, it became clear that Fury had to deal with his additional weight. Usyks calmer and patient style paid off. He always found ways to strike at lightning speed and hit Fury with painful combinations. In the tenth round, Fury tried to overcome usyk with all the might, but the Ukrainian held up and countered.

in the eleventh round, Usy's speed came back and he landed devastating combinations that Fury kept in chess. In the last round, the two boxers exchanged blows again, while Fury tried to leave a lasting impression on the judges. But Usyk was at the level of his work!

An innovative AI judge who also delivered results even saw Usyk as the winner with 118-112! Fury, who immediately left the hall after the fight, later said: "I thought I won at least three rounds. I dominated the fight." With a swollen right eye, he added: "I will believe until my last breath that I have won this fight."

less gratifying was the fact that only three belts were at stake, since Usyk from the IBF received the title because he did not face his compulsory challenger Daniel Dubois. Dubois did not miss the opportunity to interrupt usyk after the fight and demanded a revenge. "I want my revenge, Usyk," he called. Usyk reacted promptly: "Your excellence, let me fight Daniel. Thank you very much!"

uSyk knew, knowing that he had won the fight. A truly memorable evening for the Ukrainian boxer and his fans!
