As previously reported, the Usyk-Fury fight lasted 12 rounds and ended in a split decision. Our compatriot became the first ever absolute champion in the heavyweight division in the era of four belts.
Our compatriot could not contain his emotions
At the moment when ring announcer Michael Buffer shouted "From Ukaine!" in English when declaring the winner, Usyk lost his breath out of excitement.
Oleksandr is the third ever absolute champion in two weight categories. Before that, he held all the titles in cruiserweight.
Usyk defeated Fury
Before the Ukrainian fighter, only Naoya Inoue and Terence Crawford had become absolute champions in two divisions.
It should be noted that the Ukrainian anthem received a standing ovation from the audience in Riyadh. The spectators in the stands of the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh enthusiastically applauded both Oleksandr and our country.
Usyk was stronger than Fury
