Oleksandr Usyk on top of the world. This Saturday evening in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), under the eyes of many personalities like Cristiano Ronaldo, the Ukrainian beat the British Tyson Fury in a historic clash between the two heavyweight champions. The judges decided the winner. Usyk becomes the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis, crowned in 1999 in Las Vegas.
After three balanced first rounds, Tyson Fury stepped on the accelerator in the 4th round by landing powerful blows. The Briton, however, showed himself to be disorganized in terms of his guarding. Touched, Oleksandr Usyk was able to reverse the trend during the 7th round. In the 9th, he chained hooks to make Fury wobble. Close to being KO, the Briton was saved by the bell. Exhausted by the intensity of the fight, the two men had to be decided by the judges. Usyf is announced the winner after a few minutes of discussions and wins the unified belt in front of many celebrities.
