The boxing world is taking stock of one of the great heavyweight title events that took place last weekend in Saudi Arabia.
A decision that was controversial to some but ultimately Oleksandr Usyk defended his undisputed heavyweight title by defeating Tyson Fury via unanimous decision.
Pound for pound rising star Shakur Stevenson said of the win on X:
“My apologies Usyk u different!!!”
That is as good as a compliment from a peer or fellow fighter that Usyk will get at the highest level.
He is different and no one compares to him in this particular era of cruiserweights and heavyweights.
He seems to just do everything very well, a complete fighter and always, always finds a way to win, like all the greats do.
