British heavyweight Tyson Fury said the judges made a mistake in awarding a unanimous decision win to Oleksandr Usyk of Ukraine in their clash for the WBA (Super), WBO and WBC titles at the Kingdom Arena on Saturday night, claiming he should have won.
Fury fell to the second defeat of his professional career, both of which have come against Usyk, as he missed the chance to win the belts despite a much better performance in a rematch of their May bout, which he lost by split decision.
“I was quite confident. I thought I won that fight again. I thought I won both fights. But I’ve gone home with two losses on my record , so there’s not much I can do about it,” Fury told a press conference.
“I can fight my heart out and do the best I can, but I’ll always believe until the day I die that I won that fight.”
