Oleksandr Usyk has successfully defended his IBF, WBO and WBA heavyweight titles with another superb victory over Anthony Joshua in their rematch.
Having taken the IBF, WBO and WBA heavyweight titles from the Briton in London last September, the undefeated Ukrainian put on another masterful boxing display to retain the titles in Saudi Arabia.
While Joshua put in a much-improved performance, Usyk sealed a split decision to keep his titles.

It was short lived success however, wit Usyk magnificently turning his man early on before landing flurry after flurry of crisp combinations to take another huge round.
While having made life uncomfortable at times for Usyk, Joshua found himself entering the final round needing a knockout. While it was a much improved performance from the Londoner, Usyk’s class shone through until the final bell.
