Unlike previously bested Englishmen Tony Bellew, Derek Chisora and Anthony Joshua, Fury failed to credit Usyk’s incredible skill, courage and boxing CV in the post-fight press conference, instead blaming a robbery on poor scoring.
OLEKSANDR USYK forgives Tyson Fury’s bad behaviour and lack of respect because all his other Brit opponents have shown good grace.
SunSport hopes Usyk now has a dream to be revered in a similar style by his legions of fans in the future now his name is etched into history as a London 2012 gold winner, undisputed cruiserweight king and undisputed heavyweight boss.
On Thursday of fight week, the pair endured a record-breaking 12-minute face-off where Fury towered over his rival, ranted about butchering Usyk and barked that he was a “bug-eyed b******” and a “f***ing rat”.
After 24 thrilling rounds, the aftermath would have been the perfect time for Fury to credit the man he dismissed as a “blown up middleweight” as the finest big man of his generation.
