Reliving Usyk vs Fury I

On December 21 as part of #RiyadhSeason, Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury will face off again after starring in one of the best fights of the year.

On the night of May 18, Oleksandr Usyk defeated Tyson Fury by split decision in a dramatic battle to capture the undisputed championship at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

With the victory, Usyk became the second former undisputed cruiserweight champion, after Evander Holyfield, to repeat that feat at heavyweight.

Fury was successful in the early rounds, attacking Usyk with jarring rights to the body and powerful uppercuts. Usyk stunned Fury with a left hand in the ninth round that sent him reeling against the ropes. A series of power punches, punctuated by another crunching left hand, sent Fury staggering. Referee Mark Nelson gave Fury a standing counts and moments late the bell rang to end the round.

Fury showed magnificent resolve and somehow recovered, but the tide turned. The 223-pound Usyk was pushing the pace against the 262-pound giant, winning the 10th and 11th rounds on two of the scorecards to secure the victory. Fury rallied to win the 12th on all three scorecards, but it was too late.

Usyk, a 2012 Olympic gold medalist, is now the undefeated king of the heavyweight division and a former undisputed cruiserweight champion.

What do you think the outcome will be for this second chapter?
