Oleksandr Usyk retained his three titles with a split decision victory over Anthony Joshua in their second meeting.
One judge scored the bout for Joshua, 115-113, but was overruled by two scores of 115-113 and 116- 112 in favor of Usyk, who defeated Joshua for the second time.
The return bout was much better for Joshua than the first one, but it still wasn't enough for him to retain his title.

As part of the country's defense against Russia, Usyk served in the army.
The Ring Magazine belt was won by Usyk. There's only one title that Usyk doesn't own, and it's the one that was taken away by Tyson Fury.
Usyk said he was sure Tyson was still alive. I'm certain Tyson wants to fight me. I won't be fighting at all if I'm not fighting Tyson Fury.
