Ukrainian boxer, Oleksandr Usyk, has retained his World Heavyweight titles with a split decision win over Anthony Joshua in a rematch in Saudi Arabia that was closer than last year’s first fight.
Two judges gave it to Usyk, one 115-113 and the other 116-112. The other gave the fight to Joshua, 115-113.
Joshua, a two-time heavyweight champion, fell to his third loss in 27 fights.
The 35-year-old Usyk kept his WBA, WBO and IBF belts six months after serving in the Ukrainian Army as part of the country’s defense against Russia’s invasion.
