Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk undisputed fight simulated by AI and ends with shock result

All eyes of the boxing world will be on Saudi Arabia in a week's time when Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk clash with all their heavyweight titles on the line - and an AI simulation has already predicted a winner.

Fury will defend his WBC belt as Usyk will put his WBA (super), IBF and WBO world titles on the line when they meet next weekend on May 18 in Riyadh.

Should there be a victor in the contest, then there will be an undisputed heavyweight champion for the first time in almost 25 years, after Lennox Lewis last held all the belts back in 2000.

An undefeated record could well go next Saturday too, with both fighters currently yet to taste defeat in their professional careers.

Fury, 35, currently boasts 34 wins and one draw out of his 35 professional fights, 24 of the victories coming by knockout and 10 by decision. The draw came in the first of three fights against Deontay Wilder.

Usyk, 37, meanwhile has won all 21 of his professional fights, 14 of which have been via a knockout and seven by judges' decision.

Many will have opinions on which fighter they believe will emerge victorious in a week's time - but an AI powered fight has already predicted the winner.

The YouTube channel GameRiot has already run a version of the fight using the boxing game, Undisputed.

The game rates Fury as 94 overall out of 100, while Usyk is rated slightly lower at 89, and in terms of AI difficulty, both fighters were set as the highest level, undisputed.

The number three knockdown rule was in effect, with both fighters not saved by the bell and only the referee could stop the fight.

The fight proceeded in an interesting fashion, with Fury knocking Usyk to the canvas in the first round, but the Ukrainian getting up after the referee counted to five.

In round two, Usyk managed to rock Fury and get him in the corner, but the Manchester-born fighter was able to get out of the compromising position.

Fury responded by knocking Usyk down again, but once more his opponent got back to his feet after the referee's count reached six.

And Fury emerged victorious in the third round as he managed to knock Usyk to the canvas for the third time, and though the Ukrainian returned to his feet again, Fury knocked him out with the very next punch to bring the fight to an early conclusion after his opponent was unable to get back up.

Will this result be repeated in real life? We'll find out very soon on May 18.
