Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk fight prediction as winner picked in controversial rematch

AI predicts that the Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk heavyweight championship rematch will result in a controversial decision again.

Their first fight in May split the ringside judges, with one scoring the bout 114-113 for Fury while the other two cards went 114-113 and 115-112 in favour of Usyk. Despite the defeat, Fury still believes he won after edging the early rounds before Usyk rallied in the second half of the fight, forcing a standing count from the referee in the ninth round.

Fury has now weighed in even heavier than the first time, increasing the weight difference between the two fighters. The suggestion is that the challenger will try to force a stoppage rather than going the distance again.

However, our colleagues at the Daily Star have asked the AI chatbot ChatGPT to predict the rematch, and it says the judges' scorecards will decide the winner once more. After a typically cagey opening round, it anticipates both fighters will make adjustments over the early rounds, with Fury becoming the aggressor.

Usyk, however, is foreseen to respond by landing combinations approaching the middle rounds. That counterpunching keeps the fight close, with the champion edging it with the volume of punches thrown.

It predicts Fury to win the sixth round and follow that up by going for the finish in the seventh, landing a huge blow. That stoppage never came, though, with Usyk retaking control in the eighth with Fury tiring.

The challenger then attempts to assert himself again in the 10th and 11th rounds by landing power punches on the champion. Usyk stays upright, though, and the AI chatbot again predicts a split-decision victory for the Ukrainian fighter.

That would keep alive the prospect of a trilogy despite another defeat for Fury. Or, both could go in different directions next year.
