Oleksandr Usyk who was undisputed champion at cruiserweight before stepping up to the premier weight class is now undisputed champion at heavyweight.
Two judges scored the fight in Usyk’s favour – 115-113 and 114-113 with the other giving it Fury at 114-113.
However Tyson Fury feels he won the fight and says he is ready for the mandatory rematch in October.
Oleksandr Usyk wants that rematch too.
Usyk told DAZN: “Thank you so much to my team. It’s a big opportunity for my family, for me, for my country. It’s a great time, it’s a great day.
“Yes, of course. I am ready for a rematch.”
