Shane Fury, brother of former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, shared his thoughts on the Briton's fight against Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk.

On May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Usyk defeated Fury by split decision of judges and became the absolute champion of the heavyweight division. The rematch, which will not have the IBF belt at stake, is expected to take place on December 21 there.

"The night of the fight I truly believed Tyson had won. When I entered the ring, I went up to Usyk and said: "Good job, you were great, but you'll do better next time." I was genuinely shocked when the referee raised Usyk's hand.
However, after re-watching the fight, I realized that Usyk got the win. The fight was close, but Usyk won," said Shane Fury in an interview with IFL TV.
