Oleksandr Usyk regains his WBO, WBA & IBF Heavyweight titles and is now the new Ring Magazine champion after a decision win over Anthony Joshua in the rematch in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

Joshua did win on one card, but Usyk retains his titles and sets up a possible unification bout against Tyson Fury (depending on his retirement status).

Joshua Displays Sportsmanship

The first judge gave Joshua 115 to 113 points, the second 115 to 113 points, and the third 116 to 112 points.
With this development, Usyk, 35, who defeated the champion in London last year, said he wants to set up a potential unification fight with Britain’s Tyson Fury, who holds one belt.
He dedicated the victory to his homeland, Ukraine, and all the soldiers who defended it.
