Tyson Fury accuses judges of stealing his “virginity” in Oleksandr Usyk loss, says big money eased the blow - “It'd feel weird if I'd done it for £50”
Tyson Fury is still disgruntled about the sole career loss he suffered at the hands of Oleksandr Usyk, who beat 'The Gypsy King' via split decision in May this year.
Fury alleged the judges stained his perfect record "unfairly," but since the fight made him a lot of money, he's willing to forget about it until he gets a shot at redemption this December.
Speaking with iFL TV, 'The Gypsy King' expressed his frustration regarding the decision and claimed he's going to knock Usyk out in the rematch:
“He got a gift decision over the Gypsy King, end of… It is what it is, it's over now. They've took my virginity unfairly. It'd probably feel weird if I'd done it for £50, but considering I got broke in for a lot of money it doesn't really matter. It is what it is, you can't undo a decision, but I've got the chance to do it again in December, and that's what we'll do. I will knock him out.”
Many who witnessed the event had to bow to Usyk's masterful pugilism, as he hurt 'The Gypsy King' several times during the fight.
When Tyson Fury called Anthony Joshua "a failure"
Tyson Fury doesn't like holding back, whether with punches or words. This was starkly reminded to Anthony Joshua when 'The Gypsy King' launched a scathing tirade against his fellow countryman. 'AJ' is considered one of the finest British boxers of today's generation. Despite hailing from the same nation, Fury made Joshua the center of his criticism and called him a few unsavory names.
Speaking with iFL TV, Fury claimed Joshua is scared to fight him:
"I'll say, make it happen. It's not about financial things. Make it happen. However, they don't, so. One, I think that he's [Anthony Joshua] a sh*thouse, and I'll say it to his face. Two, he's got no courage to fight me. And three, he's a failure and a letdown to his country."
