FURY CLAIMS JUDGES WERE MISTAKEN IN GIVING USYK UNANIMOUS DECISION WIN – Tyson Fury claims he should have won.
Tyson Fury said the judges made a mistake in awarding a unanimous decision win to Oleksandr Usyk of Ukraine in their clash for the WBA (Super), WBO and WBC titles at the Kingdom Arena on Saturday (December 21) night, claiming he should have won.
Fury fell to the second defeat of his professional career, both of which have come against Usyk, as he missed the chance to win the belts despite a much better performance in a rematch of their May bout, which he lost by split decision.
Fury said he had been on the front foot all night, but in truth Usyk, who gave up big advantages in terms of height, weight and reach, was the more dominant fighter for the majority of the contest as he scored another decision win. The 36-year-old waved away talk of what is next for him after his second straight defeat.
