OLEKSANDR USYK broke down in tears as he revealed he begged his father not to visit his Tyson Fury dreams. Ukraine’s 37-year-old won 2012 London Olympic gold for his dad but he died before the southpaw sensation could get home to celebrate. HERE'S how SunSport's Chisanga Malata saw the fight as Oleksandr Usyk was crowned undisputed king of the world against Tyson Fury.
ROUND 1 Here we go. Both men look to establish dominance early by taking the centre of the ring. Fury marches down the Ukrainian, who opens up with a stiff body shot.
The Gypsy King looks massive in comparison to Usyk, who is no dwarf whatsoever. Usyk is happy to operate on the outside, although the early jab he's eaten will have given him some food for thought. Fury is trying to draw out attacks from Usyk, who is not putting too much into his punches.
Fury gets backed into the corner and channels his inner Muhammad Ali by doing the rope-a-dope. Usyk lands a big overhand left just seconds before backing Fury into the corner. Fury dodges the ensuing flurry and gestures to the crowd as if demanding them to acknowledge his head movement.
USYK 10-9 ROUND 2 Usyk opens up the round with a big one-two that snaps back the head of Fury. Fury tries to make light of it but that combo clearly stunned him. Usyk is setting the stone and the pressure as he advances forward.
A big uppercut narrowly misses for Fury, who knows all too well that's the shot to deploy on a shorter opponent. Fury is throwing more punches but isn't.
