Tyson Fury was furious with the judges after losing to Oleksandr Usyk on points.
It was back-to-back decision defeats for the Gypsy King against the Ukrainian.
Speaking after the fight, Fury said: “I thought I won that fight. I thought I won both fights but I’m going home with two losses on my record. There’s not much I can do about it. I can just fight my heart out.
“I will believe til the day I die that I won that fight. I was aggressive, on the front foot all night, landing to the body and head. Frank Warren [his promoter] had me three or four rounds up. A lot of people had me at least two rounds up. But I’m not going to cry over spilled milk. I can’t change the decision. When you don’t get the KO this is what happens: you can’t guarantee a win.”
A Ukranian journalist asked Fury if his opponent had been inspired by the defiant spirit of his war-torn country, and the Gyspy King replied: “I didn’t feel no spirit. I felt a bit of Christmas spirit in there and think he got a Christmas gift from those judges.”
