JEDDAH: Ukraine's Oleksandr Usyk won his rematch against Anthony Joshua by split decision to set up a potential unification bout with Britain's Tyson Fury in Saudi Arabia on Saturday (Sunday in Manila).

The former cruiserweight world champion, who dismantled the holder in London last year, faced an improved Joshua but outboxed him once again in just his fourth heavyweight bout.
