Usyk-Fury Undercard Results
In what was billed as a final WBC super welterweight eliminator, former WBC 154-pound interim titleholder and current WBC #2 Serhii Bohachuk (25-2, 24 KOs) defeated late sub Ishmael Davis (13-2, 6 KOs) by sixth round TKO. Bohachuk dropped Davis in round two with a short left hook. Bohachuk continued to punish Davis until Davis’ corner pulled their man out after round six
Unbeaten WBO #13 rated Johnny “The Romford Bull” Fisher (13-0, 11 KOs) won a controversial ten round split decision over David “White Rhino” Allen (23-7, 18 KOs). Fisher won the first four rounds, but Allen dropped Fisher in round five, then battered him for two minutes. Allen rocked Fisher again in round six. Both landed big shots after that with Allen clearly doing more damage. Scores were 95-94, 95-94 Fisher, 96-93 Allen.
Featherweight Lee McGregor (15-1-1, 11 KOs) won a ten round unanimous decision over Team Fury member Isaac Lowe (25-3-3, 8 KOs). Scores were 96-92, 97-91, 97-91. Lowe deducted a point for continually losing his mouthpiece.
Former Olympian super featherweight Peter McGrail (11-1, 6 KOs) scored a narrow ten round unanimous decision against previously undefeated WBA #13 Rhys Edwards (16-1, 4 KOs). McGrail fought most the bout with blood streaming from over his right eye. Edwards, a late sub, gave McGrail all he could handle, but came up short 96-95, 96-94, 96-94.
In a clash between unbeaten light heavyweights, WBA #11 Daniel Lapin (11-0, 4 KOs) scored a one-sided ten round unanimous decision over Dylan Colin (14-1, 4 KOs). Scores were 100-90, 99-91, 99-91. The IBF international and WBA continental belts were on the line.
Unbeaten heavyweight Andrii Novytskyi (14-0, 10 KOs) outpointed Edgar Ramirez (10-2-1, 4 KOs) over ten workmanlike rounds. Scores were 100-90, 100-90, 98-92. Novytskyi retains his WBC International belt.
Bantamweight Muhammad Alakel (2-0, 0 KOs) shut out Joshua Ocampo (8-34-5, 6 KOs) over six rounds.

Devastating Moses Itauma obliterates Demsey McKean in a round
The burgeoning reputation of Moses Itauma continued to expand with a devastating first-round stoppage of Australian heavyweight Demsey McKean.
Itauma, just 19, elevated his record to 11-0 (9 KOs) while McKean fell spectacularly to 22-2 (14 KOs).
Not long after the all-southpaw fight started in the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, you could see Itauma was prodding to the body, trying to coax McKean to lower his hands. It didn’t take long before Itauma launched in a huge overhand left that landed high on the top of the head and McKean sank to the canvas. The Australian rose but was on rubbery legs, and as Itauma made his way back towards him, the Ben Davison-trained Itauma threw over an even bigger left hand. McKean crumpled in a heap, with his supporting foot facing in the opposite direction to the rest of his body.
Doctors ran in to tend to him, and fortunately McKean made it back to his feet for the decision to be rendered.
Time of the stoppage was 1 minute, 57 seconds.
Itauma was incredibly impressive. He didn’t break a sweat. McKean’s only other loss was a 12th-round stoppage defeat to Croatia's Filip Hrgovic in his previous fight last August. Promoter Frank Warren is doing an impeccable job with the young star, who will surely challenge for Prospect of the Year honors.

Right man won
Fury tried hard but thats it guys try but somehow Usyk has the ability to change gears when he wants to.
Generational great.
Thought scores would have been closer but longer fight went Fury looked confused and unable to adapt - tried many low blows, backhanders and holding ...almost looked to me he wanted a point deducted to give him something to moan about if the decision went against.
I would prefer Usyk to retire as an unbeaten ATG he deserves that honour
