Tyson Fury described his heavyweight title loss as one of the daftest decision in boxing history.
Tyson Fury, the world-famous Britain heavy weight boxer, has reacted to his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia.
Fury described his heavyweight title loss as one of the daftest decision in boxing history.
He said at the ring side: “I believe he won a few of the rounds, but I won the majority.
“It was one of the daftest decisions in boxing. I’ll be back.”
Usyk defeated Fury following a split-decision in a dramatic match.
Fury began well but was given a standing 10 count and saved by the bell after an Usyk onslaught in the ninth round.
The scorecards gave 115-112 and 114-113 decisions in favour of the Ukrainian, with a third judge scoring it 114-113 to Fury.
Fury lost for the first time in a 16-year professional career.
He will get an immediate opportunity for revenge with a rematch planned for later this year.
