Usyk vs Fury: AI to Be Tested in Boxing for the First Time
On December 21, 2024, during the highly anticipated rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury in Saudi Arabia, an artificial intelligence-based system will be tested as a boxing judge for the first time. This was announced by Turki Al al-Sheikh, chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority.
How Will the AI Judge Work?
The AI system’s decisions will not affect the official results, but its developers, represented by The Ring magazine, promise unbiased and error-free judging.
“For the first time, an AI judge free from bias and human errors, provided by The Ring, will oversee the fight. While it won’t influence the official result, this revolutionary experiment will debut during the century’s biggest fight, Usyk vs Fury 2, on December 21. Don’t miss this historic moment,” Al al-Sheikh wrote on social media.
A Historic Moment for Boxing
The Usyk vs Fury 2 fight is set to become the biggest heavyweight event of the year, and the introduction of AI judging could revolutionize the sport. It also marks the first major project by Turki Al al-Sheikh following his acquisition of The Ring magazine earlier this year.
