It was the first loss of Fury’s remarkable career and cemented Usyk’s legacy in the sport.
The Ukrainian now looks favourite to defend his titles in Saturday’s rematch, albeit the IBF belt was vacated not long after the first fight and was later won by Daniel Dubois.
Fury is up against it here. While the British fighter does boast a proud record in rematches throughout his career, he has never actually had to come back from a loss before.
Beating Usyk would be a remarkable achievement, while the reigning champion would surely further establish himself as one of the greatest of all time with another victory.
