He added that he's glad he closely followed the division for a few years at least.

DJ NabS wrote that he doesn't think the rematch should go ahead between Fury and Usyk. He believes it's the end of an era for Fury, and he will end up just like Wilder if that second meeting goes ahead.

The fight swung in Usyk's favour when he landed a crisp right-left combination to Fury's head.

That two-punch combo had the 'Gypsy King' wobbling against the ropes before the referee gave him a standing eight count in the ninth round, per Bleacher Report.

Fortunately for Fury, he was saved by the bell, setting the stage for an epic finish to their fight at the Kingdom Arena.

Usyk did just enough to win the championship bout, with two of the judges scoring the fight in his favour.
