Oleksandr Usyk once again defeated Anthony Joshua in their heavyweight world title rematch in Saudi Arabia. After 12 hard-fought rounds the judges scored the title bout 115-113 for Joshua, and 115-113 and 116-112 for Usyk

With the split decision win, the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO and IBO world titles remained in the Ukrainian’s hands, and he now grabbed the Ring Magazine strap too.

Swedish cruiserweight, and former two-division champion, Badou Jack was also fighting on the card and took a split decision win over American boxer Richard Rivera.
