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.!!
