With four major world titles up for grabs, both men gave it their all in one of the best fights in memory.
It went to the judges with the fight ending in a controversial split decision going in the Ukrainian's favour - 115-112, 114-15, 114-113.

What happened at the weigh in?
Wearing several layer of clothing, Tyson Fury weighed in at a career heaviest 282lbs - 20lbs heavier than in the first fight between the pair.
While Usyk tipped the scales at 226lbs, that's only slightly heavier than the 223.5lbs last time out.
However just like Fury, Usyk weighed in fully clothed.
There was only a very brief stare off, nothing like the ELEVEN-minute showdown from the night before at the press conference.
Who are the trainers?
Fury is coached by Sugarhill Steward - nephew to the legendary trainer Emanuel - with former world champ Andy Lee assistant.
And there is NO room for Fury's dad John, who came under-fire for his advice in the corner in May.
Usyk's head coach, meanwhile, is Yurii Ivanovich Tkachenko.
Will all heavyweight titles be on the line in the rematch?
This time round, however, it will NOT be an undisputed heavyweight title fight.
This is because Usyk vacated the IBF title following his win so the mandatories for the belt could get their shot.
Daniel Dubois was upgraded to the IBF heavyweight champion, and has since defended it in dominant fashion - knocking out Anthony Joshua at Wembley Stadium in front of a British record 96,000 crowd.
So it is only Usyk's WBA, WBC and WBO heavyweight titles up for grabs.
