Jon Jones was one of the million who tuned in to watch the first undisputed heavyweight boxing champion in 25 years be crowned last night.

Oleksandr Usyk defeated Tyson Fury in a razor-close split decision that saw him drop the undefeated Brit in a stunning come-from-behind victory. But many felt he could have warranted a stoppage with his performance, particularly as his rival appeared on shaky legs following a thudding knockdown.

Professional fighters from across the disciplines tuned in to the massive pay-per-view event, which took place in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. And while many were divided, the general consensus was that Usyk had just done enough to warrant his historic victory.

Oleksandr Usyk defeats Tyson Fury in undisputed heavyweight title fight

After years of build-up between the two parties, Fury and Usyk finally met in Riyadh last night with their WBC, WBA, WBO, IBF, IBO and Ring Magazine belts on the line. The Kingdom had even put together their own 'undisputed' belt, with the winner becoming the first to hold that title since Lennox Lewis in 2000.

Fury completely outclassed Usyk early, with his massive 40lb size advantage seeming the deciding factor as he overpowered his rival. But it all changed in the ninth when the Ukrainian landed a massive overhand that sent his rival on to shaky legs and eventually scored a knockdown.

The Brit managed to recover well and made the following three rounds very competitive, but it wasn't enough on the night. Usyk is now an historic undisputed cruiserweight and heavyweight champion, and remains undefeated as a professional.

Jon Jones questions ninth round refereeing decision as Oleksandr Usyk defeats Tyson Fury

Legendary UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones was one of the many MMA fighters making their opinions known about the fight throughout. The American seemed to believe that Fury was winning until the eighth, which saw the momentum swing in favour of Usyk.

And while he didn't continue live tweeting after the tenth, Jones did question whether or not referee Mark Nelson made the right call to allow Fury to get back to his corner. Usyk had wobbled him in a major way, and there was an argument to be made that Nelson could have stepped in and called the fight.

After tweeting "Wow, what a huge round eight for Usyk," Jones then asked his followers "Should that have been stopped?" He then added: "Wow, if Fury can come back from that round nine!?"

Jones has previously entertained a crossover fight with Fury, although his predecessor Francis Ngannou ended up actually getting the assignment last October. His heated rival and interim champion Tom Aspinall is a close friend and former sparring partner of the former champion.
