Undisputed Usyk
Oleksandr Usyk has once again proven why he stands at the pinnacle of the heavyweight division, delivering a masterclass performance to defeat Tyson Fury in their highly anticipated rematch. Although there wasn’t a knockout, Usyk left no room for doubt, earning a unanimous decision victory with all three judges scoring the bout 116-112 in his favor.
The Ukrainian champion retained all of his heavyweight titles, cementing his status as one of the most dominant fighters of this era. Reflecting on the scorecards, Usyk kept it simple: “I win. I’m not the judges. It’s not my deal. I win, thank you god.”
Meanwhile, Fury, visibly disheartened, exited the ring quickly after the decision was announced. Still, Usyk had nothing but respect for his opponent, acknowledging the intense challenge Fury brought across their 24 rounds together. “It’s a great fighter. It’s a great opponent. It’s a great 24 rounds. Unbelievable 24 rounds for my career,” Usyk said.

The Fight Recap
The rematch opened with Fury trying to impose his size advantage, throwing sharp jabs and heavy right hands. Usyk, however, countered with his trademark footwork, weaving inside to target Fury’s body. As Fury switched stances briefly, Usyk capitalized with a punishing overhand shot that quickly forced the “Gypsy King” back to orthodox.
By the fourth round, Usyk had begun landing his signature left hand with precision. A massive left rocked Fury, shifting the momentum firmly in Usyk’s favor. Fury responded with bursts of aggression, including a crisp uppercut, but Usyk’s defense and counter-punching nullified much of the damage.
Throughout the middle rounds, Usyk’s relentless combinations and remarkable accuracy wore Fury down. At over 280 pounds, Fury’s movement became increasingly sluggish, while Usyk seemed to grow stronger with each passing moment.
In the ninth round, Fury showed flashes of his brilliance, pressing the attack and landing significant shots. However, Usyk answered every challenge, matching Fury’s bursts with his own blistering combinations. His ability to adjust, outpace, and outland Fury proved decisive.
As the fight reached the championship rounds, Usyk’s pace and precision were simply too much for Fury. The smaller man consistently negated Fury’s reach and physicality, keeping him on the ropes and landing with staggering accuracy. By the final bell, there was no doubt who the victor was.
