Usyk Defeats Fury – But Fury Remains Confident
Oleksandr Usyk made history by defeating Tyson Fury and becoming the first undisputed heavyweight champion in two decades. The closely contested fight in Saudi Arabia ended with Usyk winning by a narrow split decision, with scores of 115-112, 113-114, and 114-113.
