After the last bell, Fury gave Usyk a kiss on the head. Fury declared his desire for the October rematch as well.
“I think I prevailed in that fight,” stated Fury. “I think he won a couple of the rounds, but I won most of them, and I think it was one of those boxing decisions where you just have to make what you can.” As best we could, we both put on a good fight.
People are supporting a warring nation because, you know, his country is engaged in combat. But don’t get me wrong—I think I won that battle, and I’ll be back. I have a clause about a rematch.
CompuBox statistics show that while Fury landed just 31.7 percent of his 496 punches, Usyk landed 41 percent of his 407 strikes. Usyk landed (122 to 95) and threw (260 to 210) more power punches.
Usyk is the first boxer to achieve this feat since the start of the four-belt era in 2007. He has now entered the exclusive group of competitors who have won every major heavyweight world title belt. Jack Dempsey, Joe Louis, Floyd Patterson, Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, and Mike Tyson are among the uncontested champions.
