    Congrats Usyk
    Best Heavyweight in the world

    Let Aj and Fury battle for second, which imo is a toss up

    Usyk is the king

    This is pandering, IMO. Why not do a rematch? The fight is certainly worthy of one.

    Well done Usyk,there’s been some wild predictions on here but this fight was always going to be nip and tuck and Usyk rightly edged it,knockdown seals it . :campeon:

    Finally we can get rid of some of the Fury trolls. Fury lost to a middle weight and got dropped no debating

    Of course, but usyk is better
    I picked Fury from the beginning and I was wrong

    He did do better than Joshua That's the consolation

    However, Usyk cements himself among the greats

    Usyk rightfully won in a fight for the ages. After 25 years we have an undisputed HW champ. Tonight proved why Boxing is so great. The better man and boxer won, and there was no corruption at play. Boxing won.

    He was better in a razor close fight, fought at a high tactical level where Fury could have won if he hadn't made one momentary mistake.

    AJ isn't on the level shown today.

    At least Tyson didn't throw belts from the ring and actually won some rounds

    Fury proved better than Aj, but not good enough for usyk

    I think it could have been a draw. But Fury doesn’t win the rematch. Fury has lost something.

    He would have been better off going down just the same.

    Pleased Fury showed up in shape.

    Both men fought like champions despite facing adversity.

    Usyk clear winner for me, but it wasn’t as easy as was made out by some.

    This decision makes the rematch more likely (not sure it would have been replayed had Fury won).

    Great fight.

    AND NEW!

    Congrats to the best Heavyweight on the scene, and Lennox Lewis' long awaited successor.
