Usyk’s unanimous win over Fury highlights a night of boxing drama
Riyadh: What a night for boxing! Oleksandr Usyk just made history by beating Tyson Fury with a unanimous decision. This win means Fury can’t get back at Usyk for that earlier loss in May. It’s a big deal since it’s Fury’s first loss in his pro career.
Fury started strong, trying to take control of the fight. But Usyk quickly found his rhythm and took charge. As the rounds went on, Usyk just got better and better, leaving Fury struggling to keep up.
In another exciting match, young Moses Itauma made waves by knocking out Demsey McKean in just a minute and a half. That kid’s got some serious talent!
Then there was some drama with Johnny Fisher. He won the WBA Intercontinental Heavyweight title against David Allen, but it wasn’t without controversy. Fisher got knocked down during the fight, and many thought Allen had done enough to win. But the judges gave it to Fisher, and the crowd wasn’t happy.
Peter McGrail also had a good night, bouncing back from a previous loss by beating Rhys Edwards. Edwards put up a good fight, especially since he stepped in on short notice.
