Tyson Fury has expressed his disagreement with the outcome of his rematch against unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk, stating that the judges gave his opponent a “Christmas gift” by scoring the fight in Usyk’s favor. The judges’ scores were 116-112 in favor of Usyk, resulting in the Ukrainian’s second consecutive win over Fury.
Fury and his promoter, Frank Warren, both believe that Fury did enough to win the contest, which took place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Fury claimed that he had to knock out Usyk to win, but felt that he had done enough to secure a victory through points.
The dispute over the outcome of the fight highlights the subjective nature of boxing judging, where different observers may have varying opinions on the winner of a contest. The result of the fight has been confirmed, and Usyk remains the unified heavyweight champion.
