Oleksandr Usyk openly admitted to wearing a bootleg Rolex just days after successfully beating Tyson Fury in their second meeting.

While plenty of athletes like to show off their expensive clothing and jewelry, the fan-favorite heavyweight champion shamelessly boasted his fake timepiece in a street interview with United44.

After flashing the watch to the camera, Usyk quickly admitted to the inauthenticity of his accessory.

‘I was boasting a little and showed the cameraman my watch,’ he said, laughing. ‘It’s a Chinese Rolex.

‘I was in Turkey for training and saw guys selling Rolexes on the beach,’ Usyk continued. ‘I thought if I bought one, no one would guess that it was a fake. So I bought it for $100.’

As he pointed out, nobody questioned if the watch was fake considering the substantial amount the Ukrainian fighter has earned throughout his career.

Carl Frampton has said Tyson Fury looked ‘ridiculous’ after weighing in at 281lb for his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk, who beat the “Gypsy King” again on Saturday.

Seven months after outpointing Fury in Riyadh, Usyk produced the same result in the Saudi city, retaining the unified heavyweight titles.

In fact, the Ukrainian beat the Briton more easily this time, with 116-112 scorecards from all three judges, after earning a split decision in May.

Fury had promised an aggressive approach in the rematch, and his career-heaviest weight of 281lb seemed to back up that claim. Yet Fury, 36, was unable to effectively use his size to bully Usyk, 37, who weighed 55lb lighter than the former champion.

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.”

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.”
