Usyk defeats Fury by judges' decision

Oleksander Usyk has managed to defend headlines on heavy loads, once again defeating Tyson Fury in Riyadh with unanimous decision.

The second duo between Ukrainian and British at “Kingdom Arena” began at a careful pace, with both maintaining distance.

But in the second round, Fury was in big trouble at first, with Usyk dropping powerful shots on the body, but Gypsy King retorted at the end with a blow.

In the third, it is not that the two boxers reported a lot, staying more at a distance. Ussick is trying to break Fury's defense, but he's using his longitude to launch blows so far, not very successful.

Both Usik and Fury have begun to demand more, launching shocks, but not very accurate, with the Ukrainian dominant and cool.

Ukraine began the fifth round well, releasing several sharp blows, but Fury retaliated with a series of rapid blows, surprise Usik.

It's a strange start in the sixth round with the two warriors making the unpleasant shots. Fury captured Usik with a left kick, but the champion responded with a strong right.

The seventh round is complete for Usik, who launched two powerful blows, grasping Fury's jaw, with the English not interacting much.

On the eighth, Fury did several illegal shots in boxing, striking Usik's head with the head, but the judge did not penalise him, but Ukrainian was quickly set on fire and caught at the British corner to give him some light shots.

In the ninth round, the two fighters exchange shocks before Fury issues a strong right hand on Usyk's body. Both boxers are trying to find a steady pace, each hitting the other at every given opportunity. Usik is launching a series of hits on the British body before a hard left in the jaw forces Fury to withdraw.

Fury has slightly shocked Ussick in the tenth round, releasing a powerful urpscut, but the Ukrainian tried to move forward, while Fury's master made him close and beware of overcoming.

The 11th round didn't bring much of the two boxers, since they both guarded the distance and waited for each other to open, but that didn't happen.

In the 12th round, Usik asked for more, launching several combined, but free of concern for Fury, with the latter trying to react in the end, but also without success.

Until there were clear winners in 12 rounds, Usik has won with unanimous decision, retaining champion titles.
