AdvertisementThis was Belgium at their finest, and Romania raised the level of their game in the second half to try to equalise. If Austria wanted to have any chance of qualifying to the round of 16 they had to beat Poland in their second group game. The wide areas were where Ukraine focused their attacks, and Oleksandr Zinchenko’s square pass to Mykola Shaparenko made it 1-1 in the second half. However, Samet Akaydin and Altay Bayindir’s mishap on the second goal decreased Turkey’s probability of a comeback. More off-ball runs in the second half led to the third, and by then the match was done and dusted.

CNN —Oleksandr Usyk scored a razor-thin split decision over Tyson Fury to become undisputed heavyweight boxing world champion in a thrilling contest at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh in the early hours of Sunday morning. The 37-year-old Ukrainian is the first boxer to hold all four major heavyweight belts at the same time and the first undisputed champ since the end of Lennox Lewis’ reign in April 2000. Oleksandr Usyk holds a Ukrainian flag as he celebrates with the Undisputed Heavyweight title belt following his victory over Tyson Fury on May 18, 2024. The previously undefeated Briton managed to hang on until the bell but he struggled through the final three rounds of the fight as Usyk chased him down to edge him out on the judges’ scorecards. … It’s a great time, it’s a great day,” a tearful Usyk said in a post-fight interview in the ring, adding that he would grant Fury an immediate rematch.

Boxerul britanic Anthony Joshua l-a învins pe Kubrat Pulev, prin knockout în runda a noua, și și-a apărat titlurile IBF, IBO, WBA și WBO la categoria grea. Pe arena "Wembley" din Londra, în fața a o mie de spectatori, Joshua a dominat cap-coadă lupta și nu i-a dat nicio șansă adversarului. În runda a treia, bulgarul a fost trimis la podea pentru prima dată, a continuat duelul, însă nu a reușit să-i pună probleme campionului mondial. Atacul devastator al britanicului din runda a noua l-a pus din nou la pământ pe Pulev, care nu a mai fost capabil să lupte. După succesul impresionant, Anthony Joshua este tot mai aproape să unifice toate titlurile mondiale la categoria grea.
