Share:
TYSON FURY claimed he was "robbed" following his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk last night. The Gypsy King, 36, lost by unanimous decision in Riyadh. All three judges scored the contest 116-112 in favour of Usyk. Fury, however, was left perplexed by the result.

The public did not initially get to hear from the former heavyweight champion, after he stormed out of the ring. Backstage, however, SunSport did spot Fury briefly catching up with former trainer Ben Davison. The towering 6ft 9in star bellowed: "Robbed there.".

He then asked Davison, 28, what he thought of the bout. When Davison said he believed it was "tight" but that Fury was going to get the decision, the Gypsy King claimed: "I swear to God I thought I won by at least three rounds.". Fury left the ring before speaking to the crowd, storming off after Daniel Dubois, who holds the IBF belt, confronted Usyk.

"One judge didn't give him any round from round six onwards, that's impossible. "It's crazy, and I'm calm and collected, that is a nonsense. Their faces, the management of Usyk had him winning.". Earlier this week it was announced that an AI judge would also score the contest.
