Tyson Fury has openly challenged the judges’ decision in his rematch against Oleksandr Usyk, claiming the Ukrainian heavyweight champion was handed a “Christmas gift” by the scorecards. The bout, held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, saw Usyk retain his unified heavyweight titles with a unanimous decision.

Judges Score for Usyk

All three judges scored the fight 116-112 in favor of Usyk, marking his second consecutive victory over Fury. The result solidifies Usyk’s undefeated record, which now stands at 23 wins, and cements his reputation as one of the greatest boxers of this generation.

Fury: ‘I Feel Like I Won Both Fights’

Despite the outcome, Fury, 36, remained defiant in his post-fight comments, asserting that he had done enough to win. “The judges gave him a Christmas gift,” Fury said. “I feel like I won both fights. I know I had to knock him out, but it’s boxing, and this happens. There is no doubt in my mind I won this fight.”

Fury further claimed that his promoter, Frank Warren, scored the fight in his favor by several rounds. “Frank had me three or four rounds up, and a lot of people had me up by at least two,” he added.

A Quiet Exit from the Ring

Fury did not address the audience or media immediately after the fight, choosing instead to retreat backstage. When he eventually spoke to the press, he maintained his stance but acknowledged the reality of the sport. “I’m not going to cry over spilled milk; it’s over now,” Fury said. “I’ll always feel a little bit hard done by—not a little bit, a lot.”

Warren Backs Fury

Promoter Frank Warren expressed his disbelief at the judges’ decision, arguing that Fury’s performance deserved the win. “I’m dumbfounded at how they scored it,” Warren said. “His jabbing was superb, his footwork was superb, he wasn’t slow. He was very evasive.”

Warren’s remarks underscored his view that Fury had controlled the fight with superior tactics and movement.

Usyk’s Perfect Record and Legacy

For Usyk, the victory not only preserved his perfect record but also reinforced his standing in the sport. Known for his technical prowess, speed, and ring intelligence, Usyk continues to dominate the heavyweight division. Responding to Warren’s critique, Usyk quipped, “Uncle Frank, I think he is blind.”

The Debate Continues

The fight’s outcome has sparked heated discussions among fans and analysts. While Usyk’s supporters highlight his precision, composure, and consistent performance throughout the bout, Fury’s camp insists the Briton’s aggressiveness and ring control were undervalued by the judges.

What’s Next?

With two consecutive losses to Usyk, questions arise about Fury’s next move in his storied career. Will he seek another rematch, or will he consider other challenges in the heavyweight division? Meanwhile, Usyk’s victory solidifies his claim as the division’s undisputed king, potentially setting the stage for future blockbuster matchups.

The heavyweight saga continues to captivate the boxing world, with both fighters remaining central figures in its unfolding drama.
