After hearing the judges’ scorecards being read all in unison of 116-112 for Usyk, Fury immediately left the ring and did not conduct his in-ring interview.

On an eventful undercard, Johnny Fisher was DROPPED by Dave Allen before winning by a controversial decision and Moses Itauma brutally KNOCKED OUT Demsey McKean in the first round.

TYSON FURY has been handed his own “Christmas gift” with a two-fight Anthony Joshua deal after his bitter points loss to Oleksandr Usyk.

The Gypsy King, 36, lost to Ukrainian Usyk for the second successive time but the Brit and promoter Frank Warren were adamant he won in Saudi Arabia after all three of the judges scored Saturday’s fight 116-112.

Fury insisted unified champ Usyk had received an early “Christmas gift”.

But he has been offered back-to-back fights with AJ at Wembley and Riyadh to heal the wound.

Tyson Fury described Oleksandr Usyk’s victory over him as a “Christmas gift” from the three judges who all scored the fight 116-112 in favour of the champion. The verdict was justifiably much more clear-cut than the split-decision ruling which had also given Usyk victory in May.

But Fury offered his contrasting belief at the post-fight press conference: “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.”
