Fans spied on what Usyk did before the rounds when he won Fury. Video

Absolute world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk got a second wind between rounds of his fight with Tyson Fury after kissing the crucifix. After the 7th round, one of Oleksandr's coaches asked him if he should be crossed. After receiving a positive answer, the second put the relic to the boxer's lips.

English fans paid attention to this moment, which turned out to be a turning point in the fight. Fans commented that it inspired new life in Usyk. The Ukrainian had two great three minutes, breaking Fury's face at eight and knocking him out at nine.

Some fans accused Usyk of "using an inhaler," but most were quick to point out that he was kissing his cross instead.

"You probably haven't watched Usyk's fight before, he kisses his cross between rounds," one user wrote. "By kissing the cross, he then turned the fight around," wrote another user. The last comment read: "You can clearly see that he kissed the cross."

As reported by OBOZ.UA, on May 18 in Riyadh, Usyk defeated British WBC titleholder Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) and became the first ever absolute champion in the super heavyweight division in the four-belt era.

At the moment when ring announcer Michael Buffer shouted "From Ukaine!" in English when announcing the winner, Usyk's legs gave out from excitement.

Oleksandr is the third ever absolute champion in two weight categories. Before that, he held all the titles in cruiserweight.

Later, Usyk showed what his face looked like after 111 missed punches to the head from Fury. Sasha came to the press conference late due to a doctor's appointment.

The next day it became known that Oleksandr would only remain the absolute champion until June 1, 2024. The International Boxing Federation (IBF) will take away the belt because the mandatory title defense against Filip Hrgovic is overdue.

Later it became known that the judge used a little-known rule in the Usyk-Fury fight.

On May 20, Usyk was suspended from boxing and will not be able to hold any training or fights in the next month and a half. The video that the Ukrainian champion recorded for the whole country showed numerous bruises and bruises on his face.
