Before the fight, many experts predicted that Tyson Fury's significant size advantage would be too much for Oleksandr Usyk to handle. With a 15cm height difference and 39 pounds more on the scales, Fury seemed set to dominate.
Initially, this prediction held true. Usyk took the first round, taking advantage of Fury's playful demeanour, but it wasn't long before the Briton found his rhythm and started to command the ring. But as the bout wore on, Usyk shifted the momentum. His relentless energy became evident in rounds seven and eight. By the ninth round, he delivered a crucial left hook that had Fury on shaky ground.
Fury's determination shone through as he battled on until the end, helped by Usyk’s inability to maintain his earlier intensity. Although all three judges gave Fury the final round, most spectators believed Usyk had done enough to secure victory. The judges' decision was split: one narrowly favoured Fury at 114-113, while the other two scored it 115-112 and 114-113 for Usyk, crowning him as the unified IBF, WBA, WBC, and WBO champion.
Subsequently, Usyk vacated his IBF title, which Daniel Dubois claimed after defeating Anthony Joshua in September. This change does not diminish the excitement surrounding their next encounter. Since his first professional loss, Fury has been reflecting on what went wrong and considering adjustments based on his promising performance in rounds three to six. Rumours suggest he might come in heavier than his previous 262 pounds. This potential change presents a challenge for Usyk, who excels with speed and agility.
