Fresh footage of Tyson Fury's indignant post-fight tirade has emerged, after the Gypsy King slipped to a points defeat to Oleksandr Usyk. In a thrilling contest where neither man refused to give an inch, it was the Ukrainian who finished the stronger, just as he did seven months ago, to pick up a repeat victory.
Usyk became undisputed champion by just a single point in May as he earned a split decision win, but this time it was more clear-cut as all three judges scored the bout 116-112 in his favour. Fury promptly left the ring after the result was announced having clearly been disappointed that his efforts got very little recognition from the judges.
The punch stats revealed the Brit had thrown more punches in the contest, with 509 to Usyk's 423. But Usyk landed 179 across the 12 rounds compared to 144 by Fury. Regardless, the Gypsy King was still left infuriated by a damaging second defeat on the spin and let his emotions boil over in a backstage meltdown following the bout.
Tyson Fury's angry response to losing to Oleksandr Usyk on points has emerged. The Brit suggested others had seen the fight differently, as he walked away from the ring. Usyk retained his heavyweight titles after beating the Gypsy King on Saturday night. The outburst began as he stormed out of the ring, with the Brit telling attendees that some people had seen the fight differently to the judges.
