HISTORY IS MADE!
Oleksandr Usyk defeats Tyson Fury in a thrilling split decision to become the *UNDISPUTED HEAVYWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION*!
Scores: 115-112, 113-114, 114-113
Oleksandr Usyk toppled Tyson Fury with a stirring second-half comeback to be crowned the undisputed heavyweight world champion.
Fury dominated the first half of the fight, belying the magnitude of the night by clowning around at every opportunity.
But Usyk made a stirring comeback in the desert, forcing the referee to issue a count when only the ropes held his rival up in the ninth round.
Fury struggled to regain the momentum and would have been the happier of the two men to hear the final bell.
But his relief was short-lived as Usyk was announced the winner - and the division’s first undisputed ruler for 25 years - by split-decision.
Usyk makes history as the first boxer in nearly 25 years to hold the title of sole heavyweight world champion!
What a moment for the Ukrainian boxing sensation! #UsykFury #Boxing #HeavyweightChampion. #Undisputed
