Fury vs. Usyk 2 to Feature Boxing’s First AI Judge

The experimental AI judge will provide an unofficial scorecard, aiming to explore solutions to long-standing controversies in boxing judging.

The December 21 rematch between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will include an AI-powered judge, a first in professional boxing history.
The AI judge's scorecard will not influence the official outcome but is intended as a trial to assess its potential in addressing scoring controversies.
Developed under the direction of Turki Alalshikh and branded by Ring Magazine, the technology's provider has not yet been disclosed, though speculation points to Jabbr or another AI firm.
Boxing's subjective scoring system, which has faced criticism for bias and inconsistency, presents challenges for AI integration, particularly in evaluating nuanced elements like aggression and style.
Experts suggest AI could eventually assist human judges by analyzing scorecards for errors, potentially increasing transparency and fairness in the sport.
