Oleksandr Usyk defeated Anthony Joshua for the second time to defend his WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO world heavyweight titles, in a split decision victory.
The fight was not as much of a total domination for Usyk has their first meeting had been, but the undefeated champion was still easily the winner.
Anthony Joshua certainly looked a lot better than he had 11 months prior but Usyk proved why he is one of the best pound for pound boxers in the world right now.

Thankfully the result went in the right way after one judge somehow managed to score the fight in the favour of the challenger, 115-113.
Usyk and Joshua had fought for the first time in September last year, with the Ukrainian coming out on top at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The former cruiserweight champion completely dominated in his performance, with fans of the British boxer baffled that he didn’t seem to try and use his height and weight advantage.
The rematch looked in some doubt when the undefeated 35-year-old joined the frontline in his home country to fight the invasion by Russia.
However, they eventually agreed to the second fight in Saudi Arabia, and, with the retirement of Tyson Fury, it came with the addition of the Ring heavyweight title, to go along with the four belts.
