Tyson Fury felt he was robbed in his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.
After another close battle similar to their first meeting in May, it was Usyk who retained his WBC, WBA and WBO heavyweight titles after the judges scored it 116-112 in his favour.
Fury was furious with the decision, believing that he had done enough to win. Former cruiserweight world champion Tony Bellew watched the fight closely, and heading into the final round, he revealed that he had Usyk ahead.
“Usyk round.. I have him ahead 6-5 after 11 rounds.. There are some close rounds but I can’t see how he is losing this as he’s pressing the fight and outlanding Tyson Fury! It’s all up for grabs here! A knockdown wins this for Fury.”
Bellew then scored it 10-10 in the final round, making Usyk a 115-114 winner on his scorecard.
“Great last round and I couldn’t separate them! Brilliant chess match.. I’ve got Usyk but no one can complain either way tbh! This isn’t a robbery either way! Both fought their hearts out here! I just feel Usyk done enough and outlanded and pressed the fight.”
While he agreed with the outcome, Bellew felt all three judges scoring it 116-112 was ‘too wide.’
“Too wide but I did have him winning! I understand why, it’s the pressure and the consistency of his workrate that just takes rounds down it really is! Tyson Fury is a warrior who deserves so much respect for going back in with him.”
Anthony Joshua has also revealed his scorecard for the fight, and he also felt there was a narrow winner.
