On May 18, in the main event of an evening of boxing in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the Ukrainian beat the Briton by split decision of the judges (115-112, 114-113 and 113-114).
"When I watched the fight, I was sure of Fury's victory. After the 10th round I told Frank Warren that Tyson needed to win one of the next two rounds to win the fight.
He didn't take the 11th round, but he clearly won the 12th. I had the first round for Usyk, the next six rounds for Tyson, then Usyk evened the score, and together with the last round, which I gave to Tyson Fury, I had seven rounds against five plus a point (for the knockdown - ed), so by my count Tyson won by one point, as decided by one of the judges," - quotes Arum Sky Sports.
