Tyson Fury insists he did enough to beat Oleksandr Usyk despite losing on the judges scorecards.
The ‘Gypsy King’ was beaten for the second time by the masterful Ukrainian, who was able to impress the judges enough to take the victory and defend his titles.
Fury was disappointed with the judges for their first encounter, having lost by split decision on that occasion.
It was an evenly-contested affair in all, but Usyk was deemed by the three scoring judges to have done enough, with the scorecards reading 116-112 all in the still champion’s favour.
Fury left the ring without completing a full post-fight interview in the ring.
But he was caught on camera backstage giving his first reaction, insisting he deserved to have his hand raised.
“Did you think I’d done enough to win it, truthfully?” he shouted to friend and ex-trainer Ben Davison.
“I swear to god I thought I’d done enough to win it by at least three rounds.
“I was on the front foot.”
Fury was clearly aggrieved by the decision for the second time, which came as a shock to himself and his team.
The scorecards were all unanimous on this occasion, and handed a devastating second defeat to his professional record.
A full AI scorecard was also in action in the background and also scored Usyk as the winner, but by a wider margin at 118-112.
Fury felt he’d done enough to beat Usyk after starting wellMatchroomHis promoter Frank Warren shared Fury’s grievance at the decision, and was equally as baffled by the final decision.
“It’s nuts. Did you have him as only winning four rounds out of eight?
“Very harsh. It’s nuts. I don’t get it. But it is what it is, and we’ll see what happens in the future with Tyson.
“Tyson was dumbfounded. They gave him four rounds out of the 12, which is impossible.
“I’ve been around a long time and I know I’m biased, but one judge didn’t give him, any rounds from round six onwards. Look! No rounds. How can that be? That’s impossible.
“Same with the other judge. They gave him one round in the last six, and the same here with this guy. It’s crazy. I’m calm and collected, I’m not screaming and shouting. That is a nonsense.
“Oscar de la Hoya had him [Fury] winning by three or four rounds. And he’s a neutral.”
