In a recent interview, Tyson Fury expressed his strong belief that his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk was a result of unfair decisions and that, in his eyes, he was the true winner of their highly anticipated showdown. Despite the official verdict which saw Usyk retain his unified heavyweight titles, Fury remains adamant that the outcome did not reflect the reality of the fight. “It was too easy,” Fury stated, reflecting on the bout and his feelings about the judges’ decision.
Fury, who has been known for his self-confidence and unshakeable belief in his own abilities, shared that he has watched the fight “many times” and continues to feel that he did enough to secure the victory. “I’ve gone over it, and I don’t care what the scorecards said. I know I won that fight. When I look back at it, I still believe I was the better man in the ring that night,” Fury added, emphasizing that his version of events is not influenced by external opinions or media narratives.
The fight, which took place in a sold-out stadium and was expected to crown the undisputed heavyweight champion, ended in a highly debated unanimous decision in favor of Usyk. Many observers felt that Usyk’s technical boxing and defensive skills had edged out Fury’s power and aggression. However, Fury’s frustration with the decision stems from his belief that he was the more dominant fighter, asserting that he controlled much of the action throughout the contest.
Despite the official outcome, Fury made it clear that he holds no ill will toward Usyk and respects his opponent’s skill set. “Usyk’s a good fighter, no doubt about it. But he didn’t beat me. I gave him everything he could handle, and I still don’t think he did enough to win,” Fury remarked. He went on to say that while he is open to a rematch, he feels the need to prove his point once and for all, stating, “I’m ready to go again anytime. Let’s do it properly.”
Fury’s comments come in the wake of a number of high-profile discussions surrounding the heavyweight division and potential future matchups. While Usyk and Fury’s bout was considered a defining moment for boxing, many are still eager to see how a rematch would unfold, especially with Fury’s unyielding conviction that the first fight didn’t reflect the true outcome. For now, Tyson Fury remains firm in his belief: he won the fight, and in his mind, it was “too easy.”
