    Really find those cards difficult to swallow. A big Fury fan, and it was close, can accept Usyk winning fairly. But those margins are questionable. Reminds me a bit of Catterall V Taylor a few years back.

    Oleksandr Usyk speaking after his victory: "I win, it's good. I win, thank you God."

    On how he always manages to come on strong in the second half of a fight: "I don't know, maybe I am training. My wife helps me, my children. My two sons have won judo belts. My son said, 'Papa, you next'.

    "He [Tyson Fury] is a great fighter, he is a great opponent. An unbelievable 24 rounds for my career. Thank you so much.

    "I devote this to her [his mother] and all mothers of Ukraine."

    On what's next: "I can more. I am ready. I go back home, rest."

    A very emotional reaction from plenty here - a country that has been through so much getting to celebrate a national hero once again.

    Fury raised his arm and nodded his head as the scorecards were read out. He was certain he had won it.

    We'll be hearing from both fighters shortly. It's going to be interesting to hear what the Briton has to say.

    All of the close rounds were scored for Usyk. I didn't see the contest that far for either boxer. I don't think that's an accurate representation of what we saw here tonight.

    Points decision to Usyk. Then maybe a fight with Dubois next.

    Andrew, Chicago

    Call me a cynic but a Fury win will mean a 3rd fight decider. A good night for the promoters!

    What a contest and it's one I've scored even. I wouldn't be surprised to get some very mixed cards here.

    Usyk v Fury 2

    Wow.

    I'm seeing a lot of differing opinions out there and we'll find out in a few moments who has called it right.

    I didn't give Fury a round after the fifth and only gave him four in total.

    Regardless of the result, the trilogy is on. These are the best two heavyweights. Wish it could happen in Wembley.

    The crowd are on their feet when the 10 second clapper sounds and the two fighters start throwing.

    Usyk ends the fight with that trusty overhand left.

    Usyk v Fury 2

    Usyk pounces and it's Fury who needs to find a way out of trouble.

    Twenty seconds to go and Fury is putting all his weight on Usyk.

    That won't do the job.

    Let’s hope that this gets done and dusted tonight. Do we really need a third chapter!?

    A one-two from Fury but he doesn't keep his foot on the gas.
