Boxing<\/a>‘s heavyweight division has seen some incredible rivalries over the years. From Ali-Frazier to Holyfield-Tyson, the big men of boxing always bring drama, and few matchups have captured the imagination quite like Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury. <\/p>

These two warriors first crossed paths in May. Now they’ve done it again, and boy, what a story this turned out to be! Usyk’s second victory over Fury really cemented his place in boxing history. The smaller man, coming up from cruiserweight, has now beaten the “Gypsy King” twice. <\/p>

Fight Summary For Usyk vs. Fury 2<\/h2>

Fury looked slower than usual, and Oleksandr Usyk took full advantage. Remember when Muhammad Ali said, “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee”? <\/em>Well, Usyk must have taken those words to heart. He danced around Fury’s attacks and landed sharp counters that had the big man second-guessing himself.<\/p>

Tyson Fury saw great success in the earlier rounds, but in the later rounds (after Rd. 6), it was all Usyk. <\/p>
