Tyson Fury insists he won the rematch against Oleksandr Usyk
Tyson Fury remains adamant he defeated Oleksandr Usyk in their rematch, despite the judges awarding his Ukrainian rival a unanimous decision victory in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The closely contested 12-round bout saw Usyk emerge victorious with scores of 116-112 on all cards, securing a 2-0 record over Fury in their rivalry.
Throughout the fight, Fury focused on maintaining range with his jab and landing powerful uppercuts inside, but Usyk’s precision and ability to slip through Fury’s defense ultimately gave him the edge. While Fury acknowledged some rounds may have appeared close, he expressed frustration at the decision at the post-fight press conference and said:
“I was quite confident. I thought I won that fight again. I think I’ve got ‘Larry Holmes’d’ here. I thought I’ve won both fights, but then again I’ve gone home with two losses on my record now, so there’s not much I can do about it. I can just fight my heart out and do the best I can. But again, I’ll always believe until the day I die I’ve won that fight.”
