After defeating him by split decision in May of this year, Usik was even more dominant against Fury in the eyes of the judges.

There are many who disagree with the scores 116:112, 116:112, 116:112 for Usik, as all three judges near the ring scored the fight in favor of the Ukrainian. Fury is the first to claim that he should have won, his promoter Frank Warren added that he was “astounded by the points”, and the boxing public was also divided.
With this victory, Usik further improved his professional record to 23 victories in the same number of fights. This was Fury’s second career defeat.
Both were inflicted on him by Usik this year, after the Briton had so far had a record of 34 celebrations and one match without a winner.
