Usyk defeats Fury to emerge undisputed heavyweight champion

Oleksandr Usyk defeated Tyson Fury in Riyadh on Saturday, to emerge boxing’s first four-belt undisputed heavyweight champion.

Dubbed the “Ring of Fire,” the memorable show put on by the two pugilists was ultimately won by Usyk after a combative ninth-round demolition of Fury. Usyk, by virtue of a split-decision points victory Saturday night, snatched Fury’s WBC belt, to add to his WBA, WBO and IBF belts.

Fury, 35, was out on his feet and saved from a technical knockout by the bell.
