Oleksandr Usyk won his heavyweight championship rematch against Tyson Fury by unanimous decision to stay unbeaten across two divisions and cement his place among the greats. 

NZ Herald combat sports expert Christopher Reive tells Jason Pine Usyk was the favourite going into the rematch. 

The fight went the distance, with all 12 rounds being played and Reive says Usyk was never in danger of being knocked out. 

"Fury wasn't stringing enough combinations together. He was looking for one shot at a time."
