Ukrainian boxing hero Oleksandr Usyk (37) reaffirmed the “Usy era” of the world’s professional boxing community by winning again against “heavyweight legend” Tyson Fury (36, England).
Usyk, the WBA, WBC, and WBC heavyweight champion, won the title match at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on the 21st (local time) by a unanimous decision of all judges in the 12th round against challenger Fury. Usyk, who will score 116-112 in all three assistant judges, dominated the match.
In boxing heavyweights, Fury’s solo performance was “Man Who Never Lose” until May before Usyk appeared. Before meeting Usyk, Fury was the heavyweight champion of the four major boxing organizations (WBA, WBO, IBF, and IBO) and was undefeated in 36 consecutive games.
At that time, it seemed that there would be no opponent for Fury in the boxing world, but Usyk, who turned professional after winning the gold medal in boxing at the 2012 London Olympics, wrote a new legend, and the fight against Fury took place. Before the first match against Fury, Usyk’s professional record was 21 wins (14KO) out of 21 games.
In the first game, after a tight race between the two strong players, Usyk won the 2-1 decision and reached the new heavyweight integrated championship. 메이저사이트
The rematch of the old and new champ took place in seven months, faster than expected. At the beginning of the game, 206cm tall Fury set out to explore by maintaining his distance with favorable physique conditions.
However, it was the same for Usyk. After learning Fury’s movements through the third round, Usyk started to put a real shot into Fury’s face from the fourth round. In the sixth round, Usyk’s left-handed punch hit Fury directly on the forehead, causing the giant Fury to falter greatly.
Fury’s movement, which accumulated shock, became dull, and the later round was led unilaterally by Usyk. The game led to a 12th round decision, adding mental strength to Fury’s powerful hawk house. The result was Usyk’s victory without disagreement. Fury lost two consecutive games to Usyk, making his career record 35 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw.
“Fury is an outstanding fighter and an outstanding opponent. His two showdowns have been an incredible 24 rounds in my career,” Usyk said after the match. “I dedicate today’s victory to all the mothers in Ukraine. I am ready to fight on. I give thanks to God.”
