Ex-coach Dubois evaluated the judges' decision in the rematch between Usyk and Fury

Shane McGuigan, former coach of IBF world heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois, believes Oleksandr Usyk has beaten Tyson Fury by the narrowest of margins.

"The gap on the judges' notes was a little big. I got a 7-5. I think I even gave a draw in the ninth or tenth round. I think the strongest man won, but Fury had excellent success in the fight, however he just switched off.

When Fury conducted attacks, he then visibly disengaged and failed, because of which Usyk caught him on counterattacks. Two minutes of great work and then Fury was shutting down at the end. Unfortunately, in such rounds, the judges favored the stronger to finish them, and it was the champion," - said McGuigan in an interview with YouTube channel The Stomping Ground.

Recall that on December 21 Usyk defeated Fury in a rematch by unanimous decision of the judges.
