Usyk Retains His Heavyweight Belts Via Split Decision

Oleksandr Usyk defeated Anthony Joshua in a split decision to retain his three heavyweight belts

In a rematch between the two boxers, Oleksandr Usyk was victorious again, defeating Anthony Joshua in a split decision in Saudia Arabia on Saturday to retain his three heavyweight belts.

While the second fight—116-112, 115-113 and 113-115—between the two was closer, the undefeated Usyk found a way to outlast Joshua. Usyk’s win and return to the boxing ring comes after he joined the front lines for Ukraine’s military when the country was invaded by Russia.. In addition to retaining his three heavyweight belts, due to the retirement of Tyson Fury, Saturday's fight came with the addition of the Ring heavyweight title.
