Oleksandr Usyk became the first man to defeat Tyson Fury back in May.

The two went head to head for the undisputed heavyweight championship and it was the Ukrainian that walked out the ring with all the belts after securing victory via a close split decision with official scores of 115-112 and 114-113 to Usyk and 114-113 to Fury.

In the aftermath of the contest, ‘The Gyspy King’ was adamant he had done enough to get his hand raised, claiming he only had Usyk winning three rounds, with one being a 10-8 score.

“I’ve watched the fight back lots of times and still got the same answer, I thought I won the fight, I thought I did enough. One of the judges had me winning by a round, one had him winning by a round and that was the final decision, so it was what it was. There is no good in crying over spilt milk, it’s done now. I believe everything happens for a reason.

I thought I boxed the head right off him for most of the rounds. He landed a good punch in round 8 and busted my noise and in round 9 he had a 10-8 round so that’s two and I give him round 10, but other than that I didn’t give him any other rounds. I give him 4 rounds in the fight.”

In an interview with Boxing King Media Usyk revealed how he scored the fight having rewatched it. He was a a little more generous than his opponent, giving Fury five rounds and himself seven.

The two will battle it out once again on December 21 in Saudi Arabia and Fury is predicting they will do it a third time if he can get revenge at the end of the year.

“I think this will be one of the great trilogies, me and Usyk, like Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney. Going back to them days. They were great fights and I believe when I beat him again I’ll definitely do a trilogy with him. 100%. Got to be. One each and then the trilogy.”
