After a thrilling and intense 12-round bout in Saudi Arabia, Tyson Fury (UK) suffered his first career defeat to Oleksandr Usyk (Ukraine). In a dramatic heavyweight clash, Usyk secured victory by decision, making him the first unofficial heavyweight champion in 24 years. However, Fury is not accepting the result. The “Gangster King” believes that the judging panel favored the nation currently in conflict. Fury expressed his frustration, stating, “I believe I won that fight. I don’t have a say, it’s one of the stupid decisions in world boxing.”
If all goes according to plan, Usyk and Fury are slated for a rematch in October. However, the IBF title held by the “Cat” could be up for grabs by someone else, as Filip Hrgovic, Usyk’s mandatory challenger, is unwilling to wait for Usyk and Fury’s showdown.
