The former cruiserweight king defied the odds and logic by slaying the previously unbeaten heavyweight behemoth earlier this year, and in doing so, established himself as the sport's first four-belt blue-riband division champion.

The cards were close, with two judges siding with the Ukrainian (115-12 and 114-113) and the other edging with Fury, who undoubtedly racked up the early rounds of the fight.

But, it was the Morecambe man's deterioration during those crucial, and legacy defining, championship rounds that ultimately proved his downfall.

A standing count for Fury in the ninth round - as Usyk really lay into the bigger and heavier man - swung the pendulum in his favour, before he put his foot to the mettle and really upped the ante down a pulsating home stretch.

Fury had mimicked the inferior size and credentials of his opponent in the months leading up to fight night, but it was the Olympian who had the last laugh, edging a tense and dramatic affair via a split-decision to etch his name yet deeper into boxing's history books.

A stony-faced Usyk broke down into tears after being confirmed as the winner, whilst Fury appeared bewildered by the decision.

In truth, he couldn't really argue at the outcome, and has since vowed to use the pain and anguish he felt on that balmy hot night in the Middle East to further fuel his fire as he seeks to establish himself as a three-time heavyweight ruler.

But, as we have seen so many times in the past, talk is cheap, and the charismatic giant has to find a way to deliver against an opponent who, right now, appears to be untouchable.

Will it be a case of repeat or revenge?

Thankfully, we don't have to wait too much longer to find out...
