Oleksandr Usyk pictures of injuries after both wins against Tyson Fury speak volumes

Undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk claimed his second career victory over Tyson Fury on Saturday where he seemingly suffered minimal damage compared to his first fight against the Brit

Oleksandr Usyk didn't have to rush to hospital after his latest win over Tyson Fury – unlike allegedly in his post-fight experience from his first victory over the Brit in May.

The 37-year-old claimed a second consecutive victory against the 'Gypsy King' on Saturday (December 21) in Saudi Arabia, via unanimous decision, to defend his undisputed heavyweight titles.

Usyk's post-fight look from both fights differed greatly as he sported heavy bruises and cuts on his face after his win over Fury in May, compared to some minimal bruising under his eyes in his latest triumph.

The Ukrainian appeared to take less punishment in the rematch, which the judges ultimately scored unanimously in his favour, with all three calling it 116-112.

While Fury claimed Usyk was forced to go to the hospital after their first fight due to a suspected broken jaw, the champion refuted the claim, but did admit just how much their battle took a toll on his body.

After their clash earlier this year, Usyk admitted: "Yes, I have a little bit of a problem but I have problems with my fist, my back, my whole body because it's a hard fight, 47 minutes."

Despite all the preparation from Fury, which included not speaking to wife Paris for three months while training for the rematch, he could still not get the better of his opponent. And it remains to be seen whether that failure to truly trouble Usyk will result in the Gypsy King retiring from boxing.

Fury, 36, displayed his frustration following his second consecutive defeat to the Kiev-born boxer, calling Usyk's unanimous decision victory a "Christmas gift" handed to him by the judges. "I feel like I won both fights," Fury said.

"I know I had to knock him out but it's boxing and this happens. There is no doubt in my mind I won this fight. Frank [Warren] had me three or four rounds up and a lot of people had me up by at least two."

Fury's promoter Frank Warren shared in his client's dismay that the decision went against him as he was left baffled by the judge's scorecards. "I'm dumbfounded at how they [judges] scored it," the Queensbury founder said.

"His jabbing was superb, his footwork was superb, he wasn't slow. He was very evasive." Following the fight, IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois stormed the ring and urged Usyk to accept a rematch after losing to the Ukrainian by knockout last year.
