Is it true that Usyk vs Fury 2 will have an AI judge?
Yes, the AI experiment will be “free of bias and human error,” according to Turki Alalshikh, the man behind the tool. You may be relieved to know that the so-called “AI judge” will not be used for the official scorecards.
It’s certainly an interesting idea, but we’re not convinced that AI judges are going to solve boxing’s scoring problem.
What time are the main event ring walks?
