In 2024 boxing is taking a controversial turn with the introduction of an AI-powered judge in the Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury rematch. This marks a push towards full artificiality in the sport, causing mixed reactions among fans. While some see it as progress, others view it as a dystopian shift away from the human element of boxing. Turki Alalshikh, the mastermind behind the experiment, aims to bring fairness by eliminating bias and human error in scoring. However, concerns arise about the control and objectivity surrounding such innovations. Despite the artificial influences, the heart of boxing remains in the intense battles between boxers, reminding fans why they fell in love with the sport in the first place.
