Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk has been issued a brief suspension by the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) following his intense and thrilling victory over Tyson Fury in their highly anticipated undisputed heavyweight title fight in Saudi Arabia.
The suspension, which will run until June 2, was imposed due to the injuries Usyk sustained during the grueling contest, which saw him nearly floor Fury in the ninth round. Despite Fury's claims that he had fractured Usyk's jaw, the Ukrainian boxer was given the all-clear after a hospital check-up.
The victory marked a historic moment for Usyk, as he became the first fighter to defeat Fury in his professional career. The split decision win came after a closely contested fight, which saw both fighters give their all in a thrilling display of skill and endurance.
Notably, no suspension has been imposed on Fury, despite his own injuries sustained during the fight. Usyk's suspension is unlikely to impact his career, as he had already planned to take a break after a grueling nine-month training camp. The fight, which was initially scheduled for December before being postponed twice, marked the culmination of an intense and challenging period for the Ukrainian boxer.
Overall, Usyk's victory over Fury cemented his position as one of the world's top heavyweight boxers, and his suspension will not detract from this achievement.
