The highly anticipated bout between Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk took place on September 25, 2021, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Joshua, the reigning WBA, IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight champion, faced a formidable challenge from Usyk, the former undisputed cruiserweight champion making a daring move into the heavyweight division.

From the opening bell, Usyk displayed his masterful footwork and technical brilliance, controlling the pace and distance with his elusive movement and precise combinations. Joshua, known for his power and size advantage, sought to establish his jab and impose his physical presence, but Usyk’s ring IQ and agility made it difficult for the British champion to find his rhythm.

As the rounds progressed, Usyk’s speed and southpaw stance continued to frustrate Joshua, who struggled to land clean shots. Usyk’s ability to weave in and out of range, coupled with his quick counterpunching, kept Joshua on the defensive. By the later rounds, Usyk’s confidence grew as he began to press the action, landing more telling blows and even rocking Joshua at times.

In the end, Usyk’s technical superiority and tactical approach paid off. After twelve rounds, the judges scored the fight unanimously in Usyk’s favor, crowning him the new unified heavyweight champion. His victory sent shockwaves through the boxing world, as he became only the third fighter in history to win world titles at both cruiserweight and heavyweight.
