The official scorecard from the Usky v Fury rematch has since been unveiled.
Oleksandr Usyk emerged victorious over Tyson Fury once again on Saturday (21 December), just as he did in their first fight earlier this year.
The two boxers faced each other in the ring in Saudi Arabia, with Fury also admitting that he had not spoken 'one word' to wife Paris Fury for three months in the lead-up to the fight - though she didn't seem to mind in order to let him 'solely concentrate on this fight'.
Usyk won by a split-decision back in May, but this time he reigned victorious thanks to a unanimous decision.

The champion earned scorecards of 116-112 from every official during the latest bout, which was judged by Gerardo Martinez, Pat Morley and Ignacio Robles.
The final score was 10-9, with the all three judges scoring the rematch in Usyk's favour, meaning Fury's comeback attempt was unsuccessful.
The official scorecard showed the judges scoring in Usyk's favour throughout, which surprised boxing fans who'd had felt the fight was a lot closer than the judges thought.
An image of the scorecard was shared on social media by Queensberry Promotions following the bout, showing all three judges scoring in Usyk's favour.

Martinez had Fury down as the winner in rounds one, four, five and 12, while Morley scored rounds one, three, four and five in Fury's favour.
Elsewhere, Robles felt Fury was victorious in rounds two, four, five and nine.
All three judges scored 116-112 in Usyk's favour, while AI scored the match 118-112 in his favour too. The computer generated result also awarded him the third, fourth and sixth to 11th rounds.
Fury, meanwhile, was awarded the second and fifth rounds while the first and last were deemed a tie.

The generated scorecard did not impact the final result and was only present for research purposes.
The fight featured the use of an experimental AI judge, which was used as part of an experiment backed by Turki Alalshikh, Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment chairman.
However, Fury wasn't particularly pleased by it and made his thoughts very clear during a post-fight press conference on Saturday.
"F**k all computers," he told reporters. "Keep the humans going. More jobs for humans, less jobs for computers.
The boxer also shared his scathing thoughts on other types of modern technology, adding: "And f**k electric cars too while we're at it."
