Tyson Fury’s bid for revenge this weekend against Oleksandr Usyk will bring with it a little extra intigue.

It was announced on Tuesday by Saudi Arabia’s boxing benefactor, the chairman of the Gulf State’s General Entertainment Authority Turki Alalshikh, that the high stakes rematch will have a fourth ‘AI judge’ in addition to the three ringside scorekeepers.

However, the artificial intelligence component of the fight will have on impact on the official scoring of the bout, which will remain in the hands of three human beings if the fight makes it to the final bell.

“For the first time ever, an AI-powered judge will monitor the fight,” Alalshikh wrote on social media, along with a video demonstrating the technology.

“Free from bias and human error, brought to you by The Ring. This groundbreaking experiment, which won’t impact the official results, debuts during the biggest fight of the century, Usyk vs. Fury 2 … Don’t miss history in the making.”

The technology could potentially have far-reaching ramifications for combat sports judging, which has often produced hugely controversial results on the scorecards of both boxing and mixed martial arts.

The development follows recent statement from UFC boss Dana White that the fight league intends to use artificial intelligence technology to form the UFC’s official divisional rankings. That role is currently held by a select team of media members.
