There's always controversy and accusations when Fury's are involved in heavyweight title fight isn't there? The only one I can think of that wasn't was Tyson Vs Whyte.
The one where Whyte accused Tyson of pushing him? The biggest controversy recently actually also involved and benefited Usyk. Dubois 1.
The only controversy in Usyk vs Dubois 1 came from Dubois whining about it though, and some people buying it. He landed a low blow, and Usyk got time to recover. Nothing controversial about that at all.
He only did it afterwards. At the time he didn’t react and knew he’d done it

It built the second fight and was controversial. People disagreeing makes it controversial! Some people bought that it was low.
