Oleksandr Usyk wins.
Anthony Joshua loses.
And another boxing super fight is flushed down the drain.
It was a unanimous decision win for Usyk, and really—this one wasn’t particularly close. Just three fights into his heavyweight career, Usyk, the former undisputed cruiserweight champion, systematically dismantled Joshua, silencing more than 60,000 pro-Joshua fans in Tottenham and leaving the ring with three pieces of the heavyweight title. Usyk set the pace early, flummoxing Joshua with his movement, marking the Brit’s face with cutting left hands.
All three judges scored the fight for Usyk, with Howard Foster—a British judge—the only one scoring it close.
