Oleksandr Usyk (20-0) came out as a winner in a fierce fight against Anthony Joshua (24-3).
The match itself is the second duel, after their first fight on September 25, 2021.
Joshua's actually playing a different game this time. Unlike the first match, he's trying not to let OleksandrUsyk dominate the fight.
Even the early x-rays, Joshua was able to land a big hit and make Usyk crunch and take time to recover.
But in the next round, both fighters are equally aggressive. It's just that in round six, Usyk has the best action when the combination blows through Joshua's head and body.
Joshua wasn't without a fight. He also went on and on to find a way to do a big hit on Usyk's face, even in the ninth round, both fighters were selling together.
But into the final round is the 10th, Joshua's stamina begins to come off. It was used by Usyk to fight back.
Usyk continues to maintain excellence in the ring until the last bell rings at King Abdullah Sports City Arena. But the American jury points to this fight 115-113 to Joshua, with British and Ukrainian judges deciding 115-113 and 116-112 for Usyk.
The victory set a 35-year-old professional record for a 35-year-old boxer to 20 unbeatable fights while Joshua, 32, suffered a third defeat in his career.
