Tyson Fury remained adamant that he won his clash against Oleksandr Usyk ‘by three rounds’ despite suffering a unanimous defeat on Saturday night.
In a thrilling contest where neither man refused to give an inch, it was Usyk who finished the stronger, just as he did seven months ago, to pick up a repeat victory.
Fury promptly left the ring after the result was announced having clearly been disappointed that his efforts got very little recognition from the judges.

Usyk appeared bemused when asked if he deserved to get his hand raised before he was confronted by heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois who called for a rematch after losing to the Ukrainian great last year.
