The Briton was pretty furious with the judges' verdict.
A video of former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury's first reaction to his defeat by WBC, WBO, WBA and IBO title holder Alexander Usyk in a rematch.
After the Ukrainian was declared the winner of the fight by unanimous decision, the British boxer refused to give an interview in the ring and quickly went to the locker room.
And yet, journalists managed to film the “Gypsy King”, who was quite furious with the judges' verdict. Fury said that he was confident of his victory, and the judges “robbed” him.

Fury: “All the professionals, Oscar De La Hoya, they all said that he beat me in four rounds. That's true.”
Team member: “It can't be 116-112.”
Fury:“Then it's hopeless. Every single fucking round… I got robbed in there. F*** them. What do you think, Ben? Honestly.”
Ben: “I thought it was a very close fight. I thought you were going to win, to be honest.”
Fury: “I swear to God, I thought I won by at least three rounds. I controlled the fight, made it work and all that stuff. F*** that. I'm telling you straight out, we're not getting anywhere in this country.”

Unlike the first fight, the Usyk-Fury rematch did not involve the title of absolute world champion, since Alexander had previously given up the IBF title. Now it is owned by the Briton Daniel Dubois, who has already managed to defend it by knocking out his compatriot Anthony Joshua.
Recall that on the night of May 19, 2024, Usyk defeated Fury by split decision in a fight for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion. At the end of the ninth round, Alexander knocked his opponent down.
Usyk became the first absolute world heavyweight champion in the 21st century and the first in history “absolute” heavyweight with four main titles – WBO, WBA, IBF and WBC.
