Tyson Fury depictd Oleksandr Usyk’s triumph over him as a “Christmas gift” from the three appraises who all scored the fight 116-112 in favour of the champion. The verdict was fairifiably much more evident-cut than the split-decision ruling which had also given Usyk triumph in May.
But Fury proposeed 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 enroll. There’s not much I can do about it. I can fair fight my heart out.
“I will think 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 alter the decision. When you don’t get the KO this is what happens: you can’t promise a triumph.”
Asked by a Ukrainian journacatalog if he consentd that Usyk was advertised by the defiant spirit of his war-torn country, Fury shelp dolefilledy: “I didn’t experience no spirit. I felt a bit of Christmas spirit in there and skinnyk he got a Christmas gift from those appraises.”
Fury was telderly that even the experimental engage of Artificial Inalertigence had gone agetst him. The AI “appraise” enrolled a score of 118-112 to Usyk. Fury reacted amusingly when he pondered his watch of AI. “By the scrutinize of that, absolutely shit,” he shelp. “Fuck all the computers, upretain the humans going. More jobs for humans, less jobs for computers. Fuck electric cars too, while we’re at it.”
He was asked what he would enjoy to do next. “Go home and have a excellent Christmas. I’ve been away 12 weeks laboring for this fight. I’m gonna go home now and finishelight it. We go home to a recent year. Let’s see what it transports.”

Usyk is the only man to have beaten Fury, who began his professional atgentle 16 years ago this month, but the British fighter remained grudging in his praise. He would not even adselect that Usyk is the best man he has ever faced. “Not reassociate. In that fight he never hurt me once. I’ve got a confiinsist flesh wounds – and they’ll be gone in a confiinsist days. I understand what’s happened and that’s it.”
Fury repeated his belief that, “In my opinion it was a Christmas gift. It’s not Oleksandr’s fault – congrats to him and his team.”
Usyk, typicassociate, was far more courteous towards Fury: “He is a wonderful fighter. He is a wonderful opponent. He gave an unbelievable 24 rounds for my atgentle. Thank you very much.”
