TYSON FURY and Oleksandr Usyk battle once more to wrap up a stunning year of heavyweight boxing!
The two juggernauts went head to head in the first heavyweight undisputed fight this CENTURY – with Usyk winning a brilliant contest by a split decision.
And in a bout fit for that mantle, Fury and Usyk played out a thrilling battle with both fighters in control and also struggling at various points in the fight.
Usyk started on top before showboating Fury won the middle rounds and appeared to be well on top.
However, a brutal ninth-round volley saw Usyk badly rock Fury and swing momentum back his way by forcing a standing eight count.
With four major world titles up for grabs both men gave it their all in one of the best fights in memory.
