Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk has been played out in the newly released boxing game Undisputed.
The highly anticipated game, formerly known as ESBC, has been released for PC gamers after beginning early access at the end of last month.
Fury and Usyk have fought in the virtual world
Boxing fans are already using the game to simulate fantasy fights in the sport.
One of the best bouts that could be made today is the undisputed heavyweight world title showdown between WBC king Fury and WBA, IBF and WBO champion Usyk.
YouTube channel GameRiot put both boxers on a computer-controlled setting and allowed the game’s technology to determine a winner.
If Fury and Usyk do meet in reality, it is expected to be a tactical affair between two elite boxers.
However, in Undisputed the pair came flying out of the blocks and traded heavy blows from the first bell.
Fury scored a knockdown in round one as he smashed Usyk with a hard right hand to the body.
The Ukrainian made it back to his feet and survived the opener.
In the second though, he was down again as Fury nailed him with two straight rights to the head.
Once more, Usyk got up and made it to the break, however it was clear that the writing was already on the wall in this virtual fight.
Fury pummelled his opponent in round three, using body shots to floor him for a third time.
Usyk staggered back to his feet and fought on, but was dramatically knocked out with a massive straight right to the head just five seconds later.
Fury had his hand raised by referee Kenny Bayless and celebrated as he was declared the winner by KO3.
In the real world, boxing fans are hoping to see Fury vs Usyk on April 29.
Fury’s UK co-promoter Frank Warren told White and Jordan on talkSPORT on Thursday: “The fight will take place 100 per cent the last Saturday in April.
“Where it takes place I genuinely think will be determined within the next six or seven days maximum.

“If we can’t do what we’re being asked to do with Tyson and Usyk [in Saudi Arabia], then the fight will take place in the UK.”
Fury’s last fight, against Derek Chisora, took place at Tottenham’s home ground, while he has also fought at Wembley Stadium.
