Bisping: "Maybe Usyk lost a couple of rounds on purpose to make Fury tired"

Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping commented on the victory of Oleksandr Usyk over Tyson Fury.

Recall that on May 18, the Ukrainian defeated the Briton by split decision of judges (114-113, 113-114, 115-112) and became the absolute world champion in the heavyweight division.

"I don't know if Fury could have been in better shape than we saw. The fight was held at a frantic pace. Perhaps Usyk lost the first couple of rounds on purpose to make Fury tired by the end of the fight. If that's the case, it's a brilliant plan by Alexander to get the win," Bisping said on his YouTube channel.
