Oleksander Usyk (23-0, 12 KOs) looked clean 24k goldwho holds his WBA, WBC and WBO heavyweight titles by a 12-round unanimous decision in his rematch with Tyson Fury (34-2-2, 24 KOs) on Saturday night at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh. Saudi Arabia.
The fight was mostly a chess match, with Usyk, 37, using plenty of finesse and peppering the 281-lb, stocky Fury with hard left hands to the head. Tyson fought Usyk to a stoppage through round five.
Fury’s weight a factor
In the sixth, Usyk lit up Fury, hitting him repeatedly to the head with his left hand and dominating the entire round.
The excess weight Fury packed into the fight seemed to slow him down in the second half of the bout as he looked slow and unable to attack like he did in the first fight. The Gyspy Knig carried too much fat around his waist. Even with his trunks pulled up higher than usual, almost up to his ribcage, you could tell he wasn’t fighting fit for the rematch.
Fury started to attack in the ninth, which was one of his better rounds. However, they came back strong in the tenth, chasing Fury8 around the ring in the last minute, hitting him with shots and forcing him to hold.
In the 11th and 12th it was Usyk who was still on the attack, with Fury giving ground, trying to pin him down. It was all Fury had left – she was struggling and it wasn’t going to work this time

Dubois called out Usyk
IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois entered the ring to call out Usyk after the match. It’s unclear who gave him the green light to enter, but it’s pretty easy to figure out. Usyk said he is ready for the fight.
It is clear that Usyk is not going to get the Anthony Joshua fight, because he has already beaten him twice, and it is abandoned to have a third. The same is true with Fury. It’s pointless for Turki Alalshikh to set up a trilogy between them because Usyk is too good and Fury too old and fat.
After the fight, Fury’s promoter was interviewed and said he felt he had done enough to win. There wasn’t much applause when he said that.
