Haye believes the referee stole Usyk's early victory over Fury

Dmitriy Kel May 19, 2024, 8:39 a.m.

Former world champion in two weight categories David Haye criticized the work of the referee in the fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury.

"The one who should have won. I'm happy about it. Although Usyk should have won early. He should have been allowed to continue punching. Stopping the fight and 20 seconds of rest for Fury? That was terrible. Disgusting refereeing for such a high-profile fight. Can you imagine if Fury had won by decision even though he could barely stand on his feet during the fight?

Fury should have thrown more quality punches. More body punching, invested in his punches. He tried to steal more rounds, he did not dominate," - quotes Haye Boxing News 24.
