Did Fury seriously just claim that the judges chose Usyk because Ukraine is at war?

Congrats to the Champ

Ironic that Usyk was probably wrongly denied a stoppage win here when he wrongly avoided a stoppage loss against Dubois in his last fight. Overall the right man won but Fury performed much better than many on here predicted.

"His country is at war so everyone wants to favour him"

No, you got outboxed, and nearly knocked out you big fanny.

He really let himself down there, saying that. I hope he has enough sense to apologise for it.

Yep, channeling Big John I reckon…. sounds more like the sort of thing that idiot would say.

No song from Fury this time?

Can't think why not .
Every loser wins or something similar .

I love Usyk, but I do think his success proves how limited this current heavyweight division really is. A true heavyweight great like Lennox would wipe the floor with them all.

Ah boxrec rankings has had a nightmare from this split decision…

Usyk down into 2nd… AJ into first. Hahahahaha

Usyk is smart. He will learn, adapt and win the rematch easier.

Well, the right man won. I thought Tyson was on his way to victory after six. Nothing left from eight onwards.

Usyk proved us Knitting Circle members right. He CLEARLY won the fight and was robbed of the stoppage when Fury was in no position to defend himself. Even with Fwank's judges the Ukrainian still proved he is the true heavyweight king.

Justice was served.

The better man won.

Bullshit. He was out on his feet.

Tyson Fury came along when the heavyweight division was struggling. Fury should have taken the opportunity to fight Anthony Joshua. I'm not sure if Tyson Fury ever believed he was better than he ever was, possibly lots of Klingons told him he was better than the likes of Muhammad Ali. One of the best heavyweight champions in history, but he has never been anything more than British level. Of course people will laugh at me saying this because we are in a era where heavyweight boxers are scarce at the moment. But if you put Tyson Fury in a list of heavyweight from the 1980s and 1990s he would not make the top 20. In the 1990s we are gifted heavyweight boxers. I would even go as far to say that Herbie Hide was a more talented boxer than Tyson Fury. Herbie Hide would I boxed Tyson furys lugs off.

The Fury story isn't going to have a happy ending.

lol it's a joke isn't it?

Usyk clowns Joshua twice and then beats the best in the world, ends uo below Joshua who last beat a 0-1 UFC fighter in a side show.

Welcome back, paisano!

I don't think Usyk will beat Anthony Joshua. I just think Usyk is too small to mix it up with the big heavyweights
