A big boxing match happened in Saudi Arabia at the Freedom Arena. Oleksandr Usyk fought Tyson Fury in a tough battle that lasted 12 rounds. Usyk won the fight and kept all his championship belts. With 23 wins and no losses, many people now see him as one of the best boxers ever.
But after the match, people were not only talking about Usyk. A new computer system was used to help decide the scores. This system said Usyk won by 118 to 112, which was a bigger gap than the human judges gave. The human judges said 116 to 112. This made a lot of people wonder if computers should decide boxing scores.
Tyson Fury, also called The Gypsy King, was not happy about the computer scores. After the fight, he said boxing should not use computers to decide who wins. He said the sport is too special for machines to decide.

Francis Ngannou Talks About Fury and Usyk Fight and Computer Scoring
Francis Ngannou, who used to be a UFC champion, also spoke about the fight. He said computers should not be used in boxing. Ngannou said boxing is about people and feelings, not machines. He shared his thoughts in a video online.
“I would have scored the fight closer than that. Maybe Usyk could have still won. I mean, at the end of the fight, I wasn’t sure that anybody was a clear winner because it could have gone either way. From my scorecard, it was closer than that.”
Ngannou knows a lot about Fury. He fought Fury before and surprised many people with how good he was, even though he is not a boxer. Ngannou now wants another chance to fight Fury. He said:
“I’m still around…I want a rematch with Fury.”
People are not sure what Fury will do next. He has now lost two matches to Usyk. Some wonder if Fury will stop fighting. Others think he might fight Ngannou again or take on a new opponent.
Fans are also not sure if computers should be used in boxing. Will they stay or go away? No one knows. But what everyone agrees on is this: boxing’s future will keep everyone excited and talking.
