Usyk v Fury 2
George Groves
Former world champion on BBC Radio 5 LiveI gave that last round to Usyk. Both corners are going to be nervous that this is hanging in the balance. I wouldn't be surprised to see either of them go for it in this last round.

BBC Sport in RiyadhPlenty of people here wanting a big finish to this one. They’re impressed with Fury’s ability to not let Usyk take full control like he threatened to.
BIG cheer for the final round.
Round elevenpublished at 23:23 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December
Usyk v Fury 2
Usyk is still the one doing the better work.
Fury steps forward and Usyk ducks down, attacks the body with a one-two and then spins out of danger.
Usyk pops a left overhand off the chin of Fury and then beats Fury to the punch with another on the jaw. Fury is wide-eyed for a moment before getting back into a defence stance.
Fury ends the round with a right hook.
Another round in the bag for Usyk - if you want my opinion - I've got the Ukrainian comfortably heading for a decision win.

This fight (only reading in BBC Sport, not watching) seems to be heading towards a controversial points win for Fury, which sets it up nicely for a winner takes all trilogy back in Saudi? Sounds good to me!

Usyk v Fury 2
George Groves
Former world champion on BBC Radio 5 LiveI think that's a hard round to score. Fury was looking to use his size and weight to tire out Usyk. The shots Fury was throwing hit the gloves of usyk. Do the judges like that?

Usyk v Fury 2
Maybe Fury has found that second wind.
He skips to the centre of the ring and lands a stiff jab.
Usyk throws a wild overhand left and it lands... again.
There hasn't been a moment where Fury looks like he's going down, though.
Fury fired off a few uppercuts in that round, none bothered Usyk, but that is a shot he is trying to land.

Much better 9th from Tyson. Usyk was grinding back into it, but Tyson still getting through. Lot of Usyk's punches are landing on Fury's guard. Fury by 1.

I think the fact Fury is 4 stone heavier is now starting to tell.

Usyk v Fury 2
This was the moment everything swung in Usyk's favour earlier this year. Will history repeat itself?
Fury sends a left into Usyk's body but the Ukrainian seems to be enjoying it. He smiles and returns with a right hook to Fury's head.
Fury gambles on an uppercut but it bounces off Usyk's gloves.
Another really strong finish to the round for Usyk as he finds success at head and body.
Fury is looking leggy as the bell rings.

Fury's beginning to look and box like a brawler, while Usyk is looking mean and keen.

Both talented, both strong. This will come down to who’s more disciplined. For me that’s looking like Usyk, but it’s tight.

Okay maybe I was wrong. Look at Usyk come back into his own. Like a coiled spring he’s ready to bounce while Fury seems to be feeling it hard and is starting to lag. Come on lad, dig deep, you can turn this back around.

Usyk v Fury 2
The pace comes down slightly in this round - Usyk really has thrown a lot into the contest in the previous two.
A clash of heads brings a break to the action and then Fury is warned about punching on the break moments later.
Usyk is understandably a bit frustrated and he comes forward to attack. Now Fury goes on the offensive and Usyk smiles as he backs away, it's almost like he's trying to bait the Briton.

George Groves
Former world champion on BBC Radio 5 LiveI've got Usyk just ahead now. I think he's starting to pull ahead now. He's settled his feet so he's not falling over that front foot as much.
