That was the best HW fight I've seen. I started paying attention in the mid 80's and that was 12 rounds of high speed, violence and chess. These men know how to box and they proved they were the two best at HW.

I believe the only one who can beat Usyk is Fury and the only one who can beat Fury is Oleksandr Usyk. First class fighters.

Perhaps now everyone sees why Fury has been avoiding Usyk so long.

Justice was done. The Tipsy King got his L and boxing is better for it. No more holding the WBC belt hostage.

Usyk is now an ATG. Lineal champ, undisputed x2 olympic champion x2.

Looking forward to Fury avoiding the rematch. Usyk figured him out and will continue the punishment if they meet again.

Sad my man Fury lost but fair play to Usyk and Ukraine, Fury had it in the bag but he let it slip away guess he didn't want it enough.

True this. Played around, got complacent and lost focus on the prize. Got no noone but himself to blame.

That broken nose shot changed the direction of the fight and the hat w good fight it was. I love a fight with drama, and it ended in a close split decision. That’s what happens when the best fight each other and don’t avoid each other with the “if the money is right” excuse

I noticed that Fury was fussing with his nose from the second or third round. It was early and he kept touching it with his glove. Between the first and second rounds he blew his nose in the corner,on his glove. I am pretty sure that the nose was bothering him all night but yeah , that shot changed everything.

Tbh fury was in control in the middle rounds but instead of pressing and trying to get rid of usyk after hurting him a couple times he was to busy playing around and it seemed he was content of just boxing to a decision win but against someone like usyk who can adapt and find the punches to take back over in fight that was a bad move because the punch in the ninth round turned the tide and fury was lucky not to get stopped and then usyk got the knockdown and the next few rounds after to do enough to get a decision

Yep, round 9 is a high contender for round of the year.

But he won because Ukraine is at war

Wow! Yes! That was the best fight ever! Lots of credit goes to all of those involved in making this historic fight happening. Thank you. Boxing needed this fight and it truly delivered!

The fight was very entertaining and also ultra competitive. Tyson Fury did great and he's still one of the elite! Oleksandr Usyk is amazing! The way he can adjust in fights is incredible, he's the most technical but also his mental strength is among the best in Boxing! Oleksandr Usyk is truly great and a classy man!

It was an honour to watch this epic fight! I'm so happy with this result! The fighter many of us supported got his well deserved respect. Great win for Oleksandr Usyk and congratulations to him on becoming the Undisputed Heavyweight World Champion!

By Monday morning the sleazy IBF will have a notarized letter sent to Usyk demanding he fight Hrgovic within 24 hours or be stripped. The reward for undisputed is these slimeballs wanting to go back to the Tony Tubbs era of champs

fury was KO by the bell , what the heck are you smoking over there lol

So you're telling me a man who got up from Wilder's best four times almost gets KO'd by a fluffy blown-up cruiserweight??? Fury's punch resistance is nearly gone. Usyk barely hurt Dubois.
