Tyson Fury is not in agreement with the verdict of his second fight against Oleksandr Usyk. After losing to the Ukrainian for the second time in a row, Fury made an appearance at the post-fight press conference on Dec. 21.
During his time there, 'The Gypsy King' shared that not only did he believed himself to be the rightful victory in the rematch, he claimed that the first fight should have also gone in his favor.
Fury added that the loss was a possible consequence of not scoring a knockout against 'The Cat'. He also mentioned that Usyk was gifted the victory by the judges.
"I thought I won both fights. But then again, I've gone home with two losses on my record. So, there's not much I can do about it. I can just fight me heart out and do the best I can. But again, I'll always believe until the day I die I won that fight... Frank [Warren] had me three or four rounds up. A lot of people had me at least two."

Fury added:
"I'm not gonna cry over spilled milk. It's happened now. I know boxing, I've been in it all my life. You can't change no decisions... I think when you don't get the knockout, this is what happens, you can't guarantee a win... I felt a little bit of Christmas spirit in there. I think he got a little Christmas gift from them judges. Christmas gift early."
