Oleksandr Usyk kept his undisputed heavyweight champion status after beating Tyson Fury in their rematch. The judges scored the fight 116-112 on all three scorecards, but not everyone agrees with the decision.
The two heavyweights first fought in May, when Usyk won and became the undisputed champion. Fury wanted to fix his mistakes from that fight, but things didn't go as he planned.
Before the rematch, Fury made some changes. He took his father John out of his corner team and came in heavier than he did for their first fight. These moves didn't seem to help him much on fight night.
Lennox Lewis, the last undisputed heavyweight champion before Usyk, watched the fight closely. He agreed with the judges' decision but thought Fury could have done more.
Lewis shared his thoughts on TNT Sports Boxing:
"It was a good fight. I wanted to see Tyson more aggressive. He should have gone after Usyk more. Fury could have done more work. Usyk hit Fury to the body, scoring free shots."
Lewis thinks the judges probably paid attention to Usyk's body shots when they were scoring the fight. These punches likely helped Usyk win rounds.
Fury didn't agree with the outcome. He even shared how he scored the fight himself, though we don't know his exact numbers.
The BBC reported that all three judges scored the fight 116-112 for Usyk. This unanimous decision means Usyk keeps his spot as the top heavyweight in boxing.
