Newly released footage from TNT Sports reveals Tyson Fury’s reaction moments after Oleksandr Usyk was awarded a unanimous decision in Saudi Arabia on Saturday night. All three judges – Patrick Morley from the United States, Ignacio Robles from Panama and Gerardo Martinez from Puerto Rico – scored the fight. 116-112 in favor of Usyk. Furious with the verdict, Fury waved, “Oscar De La Hoya, y’all, he said he took me four rounds. That’s what it’s about. Stolen here. F* “She.” ** Frankly told coach Ben Davison, “What do you think I did Ben? The truth?” Davison replied, “I thought it was dead tight. I think you’re going to get it if I’m honest.”
Still reeling from his previous split decision defeat in May, Fury hit out at the venue, stating: “You won’t get anything in these countries.” He insisted, “I swear to God, I think I beat him by at least three rounds. I understood the fight, on the front foot all night.” He thought he was controlling the pace, likening himself to a bulldozer crashing forward. Despite the unwavering consensus of the judges, Fury’s frustration echoed in the Kingdom Arena, sparking speculation about potential bias in Saudi Arabia.
Like a storm raging over the desert, Fury’s outrage could foreshadow a deeper crack in boxing’s scoring system. While Usyk is basking in his latest triumph, Fury’s controversial stance, fueled by raw emotion, leaves us wondering if justice has prevailed. The Fury vs Usyk saga is far from over.
