JAKARTA Oleksandr Usyk became the first true heavyweight boxing world champion in 25 years. Usyk won points over Tyson Fury in a duel in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Saturday night (18/5) or Sunday morning in Indonesia.
The match between boxers from Ukraine vs England was exciting. Both display the best boxing techniques they have, highlighting speed and agility.
Fury, who has a bigger posture, was unable to take advantage of his advantage. Shorter Usyk was too agile to be beaten down and dropped, although Fury was able to hit several times.
