Tyson Fury Refuses to Speak After Loss to Oleksandr Usyk.
Tyson Fury declined to give an interview in the ring following his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk, leaving his promoter, Frank Warren, to voice his displeasure with the outcome.
Fury had hoped to avenge his earlier defeat to the Ukrainian fighter in their May bout, but the fight in Riyadh ended with a unanimous decision against him.
Fury’s Reaction Behind the Scenes
After storming out of the ring on Saturday night, the Gypsy King broke his silence backstage in Saudi Arabia. He expressed his belief that he had won the fight, saying that he was certain he had taken it by at least three rounds.
The Fight’s Outcome and Fury’s Celebration
Despite Fury’s apparent confidence in his performance, the judges saw it differently. Although the fight had been closely contested, all three judges scored the bout in favor of Usyk with a 116-112 verdict.
Fury had raised his arms in celebration at the final bell, but the outcome cast uncertainty on his future in the sport, especially given the tight nature of the contest.
Warren’s Shock and Disbelief
In the aftermath, Fury’s promoter Frank Warren was left stunned by the result. Speaking in place of Fury in the ring, he described the decision as “crazy” and voiced disbelief at how the judges could give Fury just four rounds out of the 12.
