OLEKSANDR USYK’S MASTERCLASS DETHRONES HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION ANTHONY JOSHUA VIA UNANIMOUS DECISION..๐บ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฅ
The undefeated Ukrainian neutralised the bigger fighter to make history.
Oleksandr Usyk did exactly what he said he would do: follow an undisputed cruiserweight title success by becoming the unified heavyweight champion of the world by putting on a fantastic performance to dethrone Anthony Joshua via unanimous decision (117-111, 116-112, 115-113) to capture the IBF, WBA (super), and WBO heavyweight titles.
“This means much for me, a lot,” Usyk said. “The fight went exactly the way I expected it to go. There were a couple of moments when Anthony pushed me hard but nothing special.”
The 34-year-old Usyk threw a major wrench in the division’s plans to crown the first undisputed champion of the four-belt era.
Joshua, 31, was supposed to face WBC and lineal champion Tyson Fury this summer but plans were canceled after Deontay Wilder won a court injunction to invoke a trilogy bout against Fury for Oct. 9
USYK BEATS JOSHUA VIA UNANIMOUS DECISION, BECOMES NEW WBA, WBO, IBF CHAMPION..
The Scoreboard Reads: 117-112, 116-112 and 115-113 All in the favour of the new champion Oleksandr Usyk.!!
