Oleksandr Usyk, ESPN's No. 1 pound-for-pound boxer, retained the heavyweight championship with another decision victory over Tyson Fury, this time unanimously, in a rematch that was every bit as competitive as their first meeting in May.
Oleksandr Usyk's team requested the Middle East Professional Boxing Commission to mandate that Tyson Fury trim his burly beard ahead of Saturday's unified heavyweight championship rematch, sources told ESPN.
Tyson Fury, wearing a jacket, jeans and shoes, weighed in at a career-high 281 pounds for his unified heavyweight championship rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.
