Usyk became the first undisputed world heavyweight champion in 24 years, adding Fury’s WBC title to his waist, which already included the WBA, IBF and WBO belts.
believe I won that fight,' Fury said. 'I believe he won a few of the rounds, but I won the majority of them, and I believe it was one of those what-can-you-do, one of them... decisions in boxing. We both put on a good fight, best we can do. 'You know, his country is at war, so people are siding with a country at war. But make no mistake, I won that fight, in my opinion, and I’ll be back. I’ve got a rematch clause.
