## The first fight result

The fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, which was billed by the media as the biggest event in the boxing world of the 21st century, was postponed several times but finally took place on May 18, 2024. In the ring of the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, the British and the Ukrainian fighters battled for the title of undisputed world heavyweight champion, as well as the championship belts from WBC, WBO, IBF, and IBO. Initially, Fury, known as the Gypsy King, was considered the favorite, with odds of 1.90 for his victory, while Usyk, nicknamed the Cat, had odds of 2.20. As the fight drew closer, the odds for 1 and 2 nearly evened out.

Famous boxers such as Lennox Lewis, Mike Tyson, and Anthony Joshua gave their predictions for the upcoming fight. Lewis and Tyson favored Fury, while Joshua was confident in Usyk’s victory, as he himself had lost to the Ukrainian athlete twice and knows firsthand about his skills.

The Gypsy King and the Cat went all 12 rounds in the ring, confirming the status of an evenly matched contest. The fight was closely contested, with Usyk holding a slight advantage and even managing to knock Fury down. In the end, Usyk won by split decision: 114-113, 113-114, 115-112. Without leaving the ring, Tyson Fury invoked the rematch clause in his contract and challenged Usyk to a return bout.

## The winner will not become the undisputed world champion

Usyk was briefly considered the undisputed world champion. Shortly after the fight with Fury, the Ukrainian gave up his IBF championship belt. The reason was simple: the IBF insisted that Usyk fight Daniel Dubois for their title. However, this was not part of the Cat’s plans, who was fully focused on the rematch with Fury. The IBF championship title remained vacant until June 1, 2024, when it was defended by Daniel Dubois. Therefore, regardless of the outcome of the rematch, the winner will not become the undisputed world champion.
