Fury believes he won fight after split decision loss to Usyk
Fury Usyk

TYSON FURY claimed his split decision defeat to Oleksandr Usyk was a result of the judges siding with the new undisputed world heavyweight champion because of the war in his native Ukraine.

Usyk was taken to hospital for a scan on an injury that his promoter Alex Krassyuk refused to disclose after inflicting the first loss of Fury’s career in an enthralling clash that surpassed expectations.

An explosive ninth round in which Fury was given a 10 count after reeling from a series of left hands before then being saved by the bell swung the contest in the new WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO champion’s favour.
