In a dramatic turn of events, heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury has reignited controversy by posting his personal scorecard from his recent bout with Oleksandr Usyk. Fury, who lost the fight by a split decision, emphatically denied the official outcome, asserting that he won the match with a score of 116-111.
The official decision from the May 18 fight saw two judges scoring it 115-112 and 114-113 in favor of Usyk, while the third judge had it 114-113 for Fury. This result handed Usyk the WBC belt and the title of undisputed heavyweight champion. However, Fury has steadfastly maintained that he was the rightful winner.
In his review of the fight, Fury detailed how he landed more effective punches and controlled the pace of the bout. “I reviewed the fight multiple times,” Fury explained. “I was landing clean shots, controlling the ring, and dominating the exchanges. My scorecard reflects what really happened in the ring.”
According to Fury’s scorecard, he awarded himself the majority of the rounds, arguing that his performance was superior in most exchanges. “I had Usyk hurt and on the defensive for most of the fight,” he said. “The judges must have been watching a different fight because there’s no way I lost.”
Fury’s claims have stirred up a significant amount of debate within the boxing community. Some fans and analysts support his assertion, pointing out instances where they believe Fury outperformed Usyk. Others, however, argue that the official decision was fair and that Usyk’s technical skills and strategy earned him the victory.
The rematch, scheduled for December 21 in Saudi Arabia, is now highly anticipated, with Fury promising a decisive outcome. “I’ve got to get him out of there,” Fury stated. “I’m not going to leave it to the judges. This time, I’m going to make sure there’s no doubt.”
As the boxing world eagerly awaits the next chapter in the Fury vs. Usyk saga, one thing is clear: Tyson Fury is determined to set the record straight and reclaim his title. His outspoken criticism and unwavering confidence add an extra layer of intrigue to what promises to be an unforgettable rematch.
