Last night in Saudi Arabia, Oleksandr Usyk triumphed over Tyson Fury via unanimous decision in their heavyweight rematch, solidifying his position as one of the greatest fighters of his era.
The judges were unanimous in their assessment, awarding Usyk a 116-112 victory on all scorecards. While Fury had the stronger start, the reigning champion gradually found his rhythm, taking control of the fight as it progressed.
It was a compelling and closely contested bout, with many rounds being tough to call. However, by the end, it felt undeniable that the right fighter emerged victorious.

What’s next for Usyk remains unclear, but Daniel Dubois appears eager for another chance at the champion. However, Dubois must first overcome Joseph Parker in their February clash to make that a reality.
For Tyson Fury, the road ahead is uncertain. The most lucrative option seems to be a showdown with Anthony Joshua. Both fighters are 0-2 against Usyk, which might complicate the appeal, but a Fury-Joshua fight would undoubtedly pack Wembley Stadium without issue.
