Oleksandr Usyk is officially the king of the heavyweights.
Usyk defeated Tyson Fury via split decision (115-112, 113-114, 114-113) to capture the undisputed heavyweight championship in a back-and-forth thriller Saturday at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Usyk is the first undisputed heavyweight champion since 2000 and the first of the four-belt era. Usyk entered the fight with the WBA, IBF, and WBO titles and added Fury’s WBC belt with the victory.
