The fight drew notable spectators, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Anthony Joshua, and boxing influencer Turki Alalshikh, adding to the spectacle of the event. Despite Fury's impressive performance, particularly in the early rounds, Usyk's resilience and strategic execution ultimately secured his victory.

As the match came to a close, neither fighter was willing to take significant risks, leaving the outcome to the judges. Despite Fury landing the final telling blow, it was Usyk who emerged triumphant, solidifying his status as the new undisputed heavyweight champion.
