Oleksandr Usyk claimed a razor-thin split decision victory over Tyson Fury to become the undisputed heavyweight champion at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh. Despite being dwarfed by Fury, Usyk endured a tough middle stretch but rebounded strongly, forcing Fury to take a standing count in the ninth round. This win makes Usyk the first to hold all four major heavyweight belts simultaneously since Lennox Lewis in 2000. Usyk started strong, but Fury found his rhythm in the fourth round with body shots and showmanship. Usyk turned the fight around in the eighth, nearly stopping Fury in the ninth with powerful head punches. Fury survived to the final bell but was outpaced in the closing rounds, with Usyk winning on the judges' scorecards. In the co-main event, Jai Opetaia defeated Mairis Briedis to claim the IBF cruiserweight title, and Anthony Cacace retained his IBO super-featherweight title by stopping Joe Cordina.
