Ukraine's Alexander Usyk is the new undisputed cruiserweight champion of the world after recording a unanimous decision victory over Russia's Murat Gassiev in Moscow in the WBSS tournament to claim the Muhammad Ali trophy.



Usyk now holds all four WBO, WBC, IBF and WBA world titles as well as clinching a top rank in the 200 pound division as he improved his undefeated streak to 15-0 with the win over Usyk at Moscow's Olimpiyskiy Sports Complex.


Usyk won comfortably by wide scores of 120-108, 119-109, 119-109 by bamboozling a game and tough Gassiev who found no answer to the lightning hand speed and head movement in the Urkainian, who hands Gassiev the first fight of his career.
