The battle took place on the night of May 19 in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia). The judges awarded the score 114-113, 113-114, 115-112. Fury suffered the first defeat of his career and Usik became the absolute world champion.
Usik rose to 1st place in the P4P rankings according to ESPN
“I am no longer surprised by the refereeing. There are simply no words. I sat next to the judge, I don’t understand his decision, shame on bad judges.
Usik can’t do anything about it. In one fight there are good judges, in another they are terrible. There’s a lottery here,” Klimas said on the Seconds Out YouTube channel.
