Oleksandr Usyk digs deep in thriller to down Tyson Fury and unite titles

Oleksandr Usyk is the first undisputed world heavyweight champion this century after he defeated Tyson Fury, in a compelling fight, on a split decision in the early hours of Sunday morning. Usyk added Fury's WBC title to the IBF, WBA and WBO belts he already owned when he was deservedly given the verdict 115-112 by the first judge and 114-113 by the third official. An absorbing and highly technical, if brutal, contest had shifted in momentum when Usyk had a dominant round in the eighth.
