Result Description
Fury was described by BBC Sport as showboating during the first round, during which Usyk landed a left hook. The three judges all agreed that the first round was 10–9 in favour of Usyk. In the second and third round, Usyk was moving forward, while Fury was moving backwards. Usyk and Fury sparred somewhat evenly in the opening rounds, but the momentum shifted in the fourth round when Fury began to land body shots. In the sixth round, Fury uppercutted Usyk's body and nose. The three judges all agreed that the fifth, sixth, and seventh rounds were 10–9 in his favour.

The three judges all agreed that the eighth, ninth, and tenth rounds were 10–9, 10–8, and 10–9 respectively, in favour of Usyk. In the eight round, Usyk landed a right punch that caused to Fury touch his nose, then another Usyk right punch hurt Fury's right eye; Fury bled from the face at the end of the round, and this seemed to affect him in the next round. In the ninth round, Usyk landed an unanswered series of 14 punches, including several overhand lefts, during which and after Fury was wobbling and stumbling around into ring ropes that held him up. At this point, BBC Sport described Fury as being "seemingly out of his feet", while The Guardian reported that Fury's "eyes glazed", the "referee could have stopped the fight", and that "Fury has been down in the past but we've never seen him hurt this badly!" The referee registered this as a knockdown of Fury (the ninth of Fury's career), and gave Fury a standing eight count, after which the round ended. Fury was "saved by the bell" in the ninth round, concurred Yahoo! Sports and the Associated Press.

In the twelfth and final round, Fury came back with some right punches, and the judges recorded that he won it unanimously 10–9.

In the end, Usyk defeated Fury by split decision, the judges scoring it 115–112 (Palermo) for Usyk, 114–113 (Metcalfe) for Fury, and 114–113 (Fitzgerald) for Usyk.

The referee was Mark Nelson, and the ringside judges were Manuel Oliver Palermo, Craig Metcalfe, and Mike Fitzgerald.
