Tyson Fury Suffers First Ever Defeat To Oleksandr Usyk

May 19 2024

British boxing star Tyson Fury has suffered his first ever professional boxing defeat to Ukrainian cruiserweight turned heavyweight Oleksandr Usyk.

The highly anticipated unification bout finally happened yesterday after being postponed twice due to various reasons.

It is clear that the result has sent shockwaves through the boxing world with many having believed that Tyson’s skill, physique and size would be too much to handle for the nimble Ukrainian however Usyk managed to shock he world yet again.

With this split decision win, Usyk has become the first unified heavyweight champion (meaning he holds all the belts available) since Lennox Lewis in 1999.

After the fight and the decision had been announced, Fury seemed in rather good spirits but also a bit bitter stating that he thought he won the fight and that the fact that Usyk’s country is currently at war helped the Ukrainian win the decision.

There were no official knockdowns however the closest was in round 9 when Usyk rocked Fury with a quick and powerful combination of punches.

Instagram accounts @spiritofmaltacatamaran and @tony_boatparty shared videos of two graceful creatures making a subtle cameo during one of their trips to Comino. This sighting is part of a trend expected to continue throughout the summer, offering a magical experience for those lucky enough to witness it.

Authorities and marine experts emphasise the importance of responsible dolphin watching. Anyone spotting dolphins in Maltese waters should approach with caution, maintain a respectful distance, and avoid touching or feeding them.

These guidelines help protect the dolphins and preserve their natural behaviours, allowing everyone to enjoy their presence without causing harm.

Happy Dolphin Spotting!
