Former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury said he believes he is the winner of his fight with Oleksandr Usyk.
"The fight was easier than I thought it would be. People said it was hard to hit Usyk. But I was charging at him with a multi-strike series. It was too easy. It was like I was fighting a local amateur boxer.
I've re-watched the fight many times. Every time I come to the same conclusion - I won. Usyk knows he didn't beat me. Most of the rounds I blew his head off. He broke my nose in the eighth round, then scored a 10-8 in the ninth. Plus, I'm willing to give him the 10th round. But otherwise, I didn't see him winning any other rounds. Three rounds, one of which counts for two. Four rounds! That's it," said Fury in an interview with FurocityEnergy.
Recall, May 18, Usyk defeated Fury by split decision of judges and became the absolute champion of Heavyweight. It is expected that the boxers will hold a rematch on December 21.
