However, Usyk fought back in emphatic fashion in the ninth round.

And the Ukrainian absolutely peppered his opponent with a flurry of massive shots.

But just at Usyk was tightening the screw and looking to close in on a historic win, the referee pulled the pair apart.

And then the klaxon sounded followed by the bell as Fury escaped.
