Tyson Fury refused to accept he lost his rematch against unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk and claimed the judges gave him a “Christmas gift”.<\/b><\/p>\n

All three judges scored the fight 116-112 in Usyk’s favour<\/a>, handing the Ukrainian a second successive win over the Fury.<\/p>\n

Fury and his promoter Frank Warren were both adamant that the Briton had done enough to win the contest in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

“The judges gave him a Christmas gift,” Fury said.<\/p>\n

“I feel like I won both fights. I know I had to knock him out but it’s boxing and this happens. There is no doubt in my mind I won this fight.<\/p>\n

“Frank [Warren] had me three or four rounds up and a lot of people had me up by at least two.”<\/p>\n

Fury, 36, did not answer any questions in the ring after the bout, choosing to head backstage where he eventually spoke to the media.<\/p>\n

“I’m not going to cry over spilt milk, it’s over now.” Fury added. <\/p>\n

“I’ve been in boxing my whole life but I’ll always feel a little bit hard done by – not a little bit, a lot.”<\/p>\n

Queensberry’s Warren made clear his frustration with the result in the ring and he continued to make his case for a Fury win afterwards.<\/p>\n

“I’m dumbfounded at how they [judges] scored it,” Warren said.<\/p>\n

“His jabbing was superb, his footwork was superb, he wasn’t slow. He was very evasive.”<\/p>\n

Victory for Usyk extends his unblemished record to 23 victories and further strengthens his claim as one of the greatest of this generation.<\/p>\n

“Uncle Frank, I think he is blind,” Usyk said.<\/p>\n

“If Tyson says it is a Christmas gift then OK, thank you God, not Tyson. Thank you to my team.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
