Usyk became the undisputed heavyweight champion after a split decision victory over Fury earlier this month, with one judge favoring Fury 114-113, while the other two scored 114-113 and 115-112 for Usyk. This bout marks Usyk as the first unified heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999. Both fighters are currently under medical suspension due to the intensity of their first encounter. Boxing fans around the world eagerly await another historic clash between these two titans.
