Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk was truly an exciting fight for boxing fans and for the history of the sport. The fight went the distance and ended with Usyk winning via split decision. After winning the undisputed heavyweight championship, Usyk was delayed at his post-match press conference. This was because doctors had to examine him for injuries sustained in the match.

He mentioned this while discussing the fight and the rematch that will take place. As such, The Gypsy King remarked that both of them would go back to their families and will recuperate for now. Furthermore, he mentioned how both of them are busted up since they kept punching for 12 rounds. Fury also stated that Usyk was at the hospital at the time due to a broken jaw. Subsequently, Usyk’s promoter dismissed this notion while speaking to the media.
