Usyk vs Fury II One of the most anticipated rematches in recent boxing history is here. Today, Saturday, December 21, at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Oleksandr Usyk puts his WBO, WBC, and WBA heavyweight titles on the line against former champion Tyson Fury. We have live coverage of the entire fight card and will update the Usyk vs. Fury 2 results as they happen.
The initial meeting between Fury and Usyk took place in May in the same arena where Saturday’s rematch will occur. At the time of that fight, Fury held the WBC title while Usyk owned the WBO, WBA, and IBF belts. Both men had unbeaten records with Fury checking in at 34-0-1, while Usyk had an unblemished 21-0 mark. The two put on one of the better heavyweight fights of recent memory that night. After 12 tightly contested rounds, the judges awarded the split decision to Usyk, making him the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis defeated Evander Holyfield in 1999. When the fight opened, the two competitors looked to establish their attacks. For Fury, that meant fighting behind an active jab, and using his pronounced size advantage to keep Usyk to the outside. As for Usyk, his goal was to use his speed, volume, power, and movement to force Fury into corners, or at least against the ropes, where he could trap his foe and score with combinations. It didn’t help that Fury seemed a little too interested in playing to the crowd. The early rounds favored Usyk. As the fight progressed, Fury stepped up his output and sense of urgency and slowly took over. He kept the fight in the open more often than he allowed Usyk to push him to the ropes and used his jab to keep his opponent from scoring with his power. Usyk was far from ineffective in the middle of the bout. He was moving forward and landing to the body, but Fury was just better than him between rounds five and seven.
Usyk changed his approach in the eighth round. He became more aggressive, walking Fury down. His punches, rising over his adversary's guard, left their mark on Fury’s face. Usyk’s attacking style paid dividends in the ninth round when a combination left Fury staggering around the ring. Several times it seemed as if the ropes were the only thing that saved the big man from toppling into the crowd or hitting the Kingdom Arena canvas. Then, with time ticking down, referee Mark Nelson signaled an official knockdown. By the time the ref administered the eight-count and checked if Fury could continue, time expired on the round.
According to DAZN, ring walks for the main event for the Usyk vs. Fury 2 fight card are expected to begin shortly before the scheduled fight time of 6:00 p.m. ET, fans should tune in around 5:50 p.m. ET for the ring walks for Usyk and Fury. Andrii Novytskyi entered his heavyweight fight against Edgar Ramirez with a perfect 13-0 record with 10 knockouts. Meanwhile, Ramirez sported a 10-1-1 mark with four KOs. At stake was Novytskyi's WBC International Heavyweight title. Novytskyi was the longer and lankier fighter. While fighting behind an active jab, Novytskyi opened the contest with good movement and speed. He looked confident in his defense, which was a bit low for my liking. As for Ramirez, he was the slower fighter, who seemed more interested in scoring with power than with output. Novytskyi owned the first three rounds, but he slowed a bit around the fourth. With that, Ramirez upped his output and seemed to score with his power. Novytskyi also seemed a little put off by the force of his opponent's punches, fighting more off his back foot while looking to keep him at bay with a jab. As the fight progressed into the second half, Novytskyi fought from the outside, but he didn't throw with power, which opened things up for Ramirez. It was hard to get a handle on the future upside of Novytskyi after this contest. Novytskyi is a good boxer, but he didn't look well-rounded or willing to do the dirty work necessary to succeed against a brawler. Novytskyi was more aggressive in the final round, but he was fighting more flat-footed than in the early going. The champ needs some work on cardio and pacing. Novytskyi took a step back in this fight. In the future, he'll need a much better showing if he hopes to move up the heavyweight ranks.
