- Oleksandr Usyk Won The First Fight Via Split Decision
Tyson Fury became the definitive top boxer in the game following his three-match series with Deontay Wilder. When that trio of matches ended in October 2021, there wasn’t much meat remaining on the bone in the heavyweight division for Fury to chew on.
In October 2023, Fury narrowly defeated MMA fighter Francis Ngannou, winning via split decision. Rather than contemplate retirement, Tyson sought out the undefeated Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk last May.
Despite being 6 inches shorter and 40 points lighter than Tyson, Usyk proved he could not only hang with the champ but also beat him. Oleksandr delivered a flurry of punches in the 9th round that sent Fury into the corner, with only the ropes stopping his fall.
The loss was the first of Tyson’s professional career. Following the win, Usyk became the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis held the honors in 2002.
The top boxing betting sites have already posted lines for Saturday’s bout, and across the board, Usyk is favored to win the second fight.
