Tyson Fury reacts to second Oleksandr Usyk defeat as he breaks silence
Tyson Fury believes he did enough to win his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia. 'The Gypsy King' stormed out of the ring following the decision before stating that he felt he won the bout by three rounds.
Fury was defeated by the world champion for a second time in seven months, with all three judges giving Usyk the nod by four rounds. Fury left the ring immediately after the result was announced but said backstage: "I swear to God I thought I won that fight by at least three rounds."
Fury later added: "I thought I won the fight again, I was Larry Holmesed again. I was on the front foot the entire time. When you don’t get the knockout this is what can happen. I felt some Christmas spirit, I think he got a little Christmas gift from the judges."

Fury's promoter Frank Warren agreed, saying: “One judge didn’t give him any round from round six onwards. How can that be? Same with the other judge here. He gave him one round of the last six. It’s crazy. But that is a nonsense. Oscar de le Hoya and I had him winning by three or four rounds.
“What fight were they watching? You lose, you lose, that’s fair enough. But come on. It’s nuts. He’s very very disappointed. He thought he won it. Of course we are biased but I’m not stupid biased. I’d like to think I know what I’m looking at. It was a good boxing performance by him. He used all his physical attributes. He stayed focused. I mean, come on, count the jabs. All you want is a level playing field and a fair crack of the whip. But that scoring is not good whatsoever."
