There were scary moments at times for Usyk, who again used slick boxing to greatly confuse Joshua throughout the fight. Joshua made a mid-fight adjustment to focus on Usyk’s body, which eventually allowed him to fire upstairs, seemingly hurting Usyk badly in the ninth round. Usyk showed true championship qualities as he weathered the storm before coming back in Round 10 to dominate the final three laps of the race and cement his victory. The official post-fight scorecards read 115-113 and 116-112 for Usyk with a 115-113 card inexplicably reversed for Joshua.
