Famous American promoter Bob Arum shared his thoughts on the result of the fight for the title of world heavyweight champion between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury.
On May 18, in the main event of the boxing evening in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the Ukrainian beat the Briton by split decision of the judges (115-112, 114-113 and 113-114).
"When I watched the fight, I was sure of Fury's victory. After the 10th round I told Frank Warren that Tyson needed to win one of the next two rounds to win the fight.
He didn't take the 11th round, but he clearly won the 12th. I had the first round for Usyk, the next six rounds for Tyson, then Usyk evened the score, and together with the last round, which I gave to Tyson Fury, I had seven rounds against five plus a point (for the knockdown - ed), so by my count Tyson won by one point, as decided by one of the judges," - quotes Arum Sky Sports.
