Daily MailOleksandr Usyk retained his heavyweight titles by beating Tyson Fury on points in their rematch in Riyadh on Saturday night. Oleksandr Usyk retained his titles by beating Tyson Fury on points for the second time It was an enthralling contest, where Fury and Usyk went back and forth across 12 rounds But it was Usyk who came on strong in the latter rounds to take the decision Having spent three months away from his wife and children, he had promised to be more aggressive than the first fight and avoid any showboating, and he took the centre of the ring straight away. The ninth was a round of two halves, with Fury using his jab and body shots to good effect early on, before Usyk rallied to catch the bigger man with a left hand-right hook combination. Usyk dropped to his knees after the final bell and embraced Fury before the final result was announced A clearly disappointed Fury left the ring after his second career defeat was confirmed Usyk was left celebrating in the ring after proving he remains the best heavyweight in the world Yet the 11th was anything but.
