I thought Fury won.

Of course, Fury would say that…… His arrogant ego is hurt…..

Yikes, some unnecessary cringy war confabulation. Followed with I’m not going to “make excuses.”

Putting your hands behind your back and making faces doesn’t win the fight. Your face was busted up and Usyk was landing a few more than you and he was the agressor the whole fight, lucky to stay on your feet. I’ve been saying it for years Joshua beats Fury all day. Sorry but Fury didn’t win

I’m English, and I wanted Fury to win, but I do think Usyk did edge it after the count on Fury.

Reply

It was a close fight, either guy could have pulled it off. They are both at the top of their game, there will be a rematch.

Reply

Of course he thinks he’s won. He is a man of excuses, a la Haney and Wilder. Maybe you win the rematch if you don’t clown around and try to mock your opponent. Making faces doesn’t win points.

Fury was always overrated and Overhyped in my opinion. Never was considered a great fighter. Just happened to come along in a era where his size and other heavyweights aren’t very good

Reply

You lost the fight suck it up,why bring the war into it,guess what he’ll beat your ass again,what will your excuse be then?

Reply

” I am not going to make excuses ….. But here are some excuses” . sore loser got beat by the better fighter .

Reply

If I was Usyk I would retire rather than give him a remach, then Fury and Joshua can fight each other for the belts and my money would be on Joshua to come out on top.

Reply

the referee could have stopped it in the ninth and also gave him extra time to recover and he still complains ” with no excuses ” of course

Reply

Yeah, but ya didn’t. Just like Ngannou won the fight.

Reply

I dont think many people believe you Mr Fury, one thing you proved yet again you can take a punch.
Not so much funny clowning around now is there?

Reply

Maybe they could get together and decide that Usyk can fight his IBF mandatory and Fury vs Joshua could happen and the winners could fight after.

Reply

IBF have said that they won’t allow a rematch,so rematch clause would be for what?
It was a unanimous victory in my book , beaten by a better boxer.
But at least you are gracious in defeat.

Reply

Fury needs to eliminate the excuses, adjust his mistakes and get back to a rematch…FOR HIS LAND OF ENGLAND!!

Reply

It was closed fight, I had it 113 a piece.
The fight started to change when Fury nose was broken

Reply

I truly thought Fury won the fight. He clearly landed the most effective punches, accept in the 9th round.

Reply

Fury well and truly lost this fight-The referee stopped Usyk from ending it -bad decision-Fury will owe the rematch if there is one-End of the Gypsy and a good result for Boxing

Reply

I know I’m going to be down voted, but I have to honest. Why do “boxing fans” let their hate cloud there judgement about a fight? We’ve seen some great fights, CLOSE fights, but because people hate one fighter they act like it was a landslide victory. Fights like this one or Haney/Loma were very entertaining and instead of appreciating a great fight, people treat them like they were 10-2 fights. As a boxing fan and not a fan of any particular fighter, I hope we can continue to get good competitive fights like this. Regardless of who’s your favorite fighter, these are the fights that will help the sport grow and get better.

Been in boxing for decades,
I saw a high profile chess match. Fury clowned too much and that cost him rounds. I only gave him four rounds, Fury has only been an average fighter to me. He has a ton of heart. But he clowns too much. This is not a circus act, it’s a world heavyweight undisputed championship fight. Act like it, Fury! An easy 116-111 Usyk win for me. Only the judge from Spain who had it 115-112 Usyk saw the fight. Usyk’s 9th round knockdown probably saved us from a Fury split decision win, and that would have been criminal. I predicted a draw, because the powers that be wanted Fury to win and those two 114-113 cards on either side showed that. Chris Mannix is the worst A-side pom-pom shaker in the history of the sport, as is the biased BBC team! Eddie Hearn thought Fury won the first six rounds!!! OMG!! Referee Mark Nelson gave Fury 16 seconds of recovery time following the mandatory eight count. He took too long to see if Fury was OK. That saved Fury.

Reply

I will get some detractors with this comment, but, I feel this is the best time for this…

If I were Usyk, I would retire. He is 37, he has won the amateur world championship, Olympic Gold, become undisputed/lineal champion in 2 weight classes, and handed a loud mouthed clown a satisfying loss at a perfect moment. That is the perfect time to call it a day. There is literally nothing left for him to accomplish. He just made a huge payday, so he does not need the money, and he could do a lot for his nation outside the ring now. Plus, it would rob Fury his revenge, a fact that would drive him nuts.

Call it a day Usyk, you have nothing left to prove. Do that which too few greats can bring themselves to do and make your exit when you are at the top. Retire now and live forever as a legend.

Reply

Saw that Usyk is ranked #2 by Boxrec behind Joshua in the heavyweight division.

Something went very wrong in that ranking.

Reply

I am a Fury fan. Usyk won by fighting the whole fight not here and there as Fury did. Close but edge to Usyk!

Reply

I won’t get tested now until September, who’s holding my co*ke?- Fury

Reply

A clown is always a clown. He won max 4 rounds: 4,5,6 and 12. Even the bias Sky Sports admitted.

Reply

That ref. who was paid a little extra i would bet on that, allowed Fury to get away with all type of crap, and finally saved him from being knocked out in the 9th with that count. The excuses is expected. Simon,Vance,Gareth and Warren would be probably crying in their beer, they might probably invite Arum, Pauli and that clown from the Daily Express to the cry session. This classless dude has had 6 title defenses . 3 against the same man, the rest against useless opposition,including 1 against a man he had already beaten 2 times previously, was being called the greatest ever by this lot. Hell even his mate Parker thought he lost, i guess John will be kicking him out now. Look for Fury sr. to blame Steward and try to get him sacked.

Reply

No you don’t and should’ve been declared ko.. Ugly réf allowed him to finish the fight with a 13/14 sec count..

Reply

…his country’s at war, so people are deciding with the country at war…

Come on

Usyk didn´t need that disgusting war to win the fight.

He won fair and square!

Reply

DON’T MENTION THE WAR!!!!!!
The Gypsy Queen is a miserable fool just like it’s idiot father.

I feel Fury started well once he settled on his shots & actually started to trouble Usyk with the right uppercut & body shots but he didn’t seem to capitalise, Usyk then re-grouped from round eight and started to land some cracking shots and bust and dismantle Fury who looked completely lost in there even the basics of trying to grap,hold and lean on Usyk to by a bit of recovery time was non existence. Overall in my view I feel Usyk won the fight and should have had the KO win. I’ve followed Fury from the beginning but he’s got to admit he was beat by the better man I also feel his punch resistance isn’t there any more hence I think the power of AJ would put him out.

Reply

Tyson. Massive respect, but the right man got the decision. If you weigh everything on balance and look at the press cards, I’ll bet Usyk was the winner more times than Fury. 114-113 115-112 for Usyk were the right scores.

And the knockout was not stolen at all. The ref had an obligation to call a knockdown because the ropes were the only thing holding Fury up. By rule it’s a knockdown. Know the rules before you go insulting a ref who not only did a good job, but you also must realize… the knockdown was the difference in the decision. It would have been a draw otherwise.

Reply

Fury loss! The referee could not save him. He tried when he gave him a standing eight count. He could have just as easily stopped the fight . Fury was helpless on the ropes not fighting back. He was ready to go down. And then the ref took a few more seconds to wipe his gloves even though they never touched the canvas. Allowing the bell to sound.

Reply

USYK WON PERIOD. REF SHOULD HAVE STOPPED THE FIGHT. LONG EIGHT COUNT AND THEN THE BELL!! COULD EASILY BEEN A 10/7 ROUND.

Reply

He screwed around too much, was not a professional like Usyk and it cost him

Reply

Excellent scrap. I thought Fury made the mistake coming in too light and trying to box too much on the back foot.

He did not hold or lean on usyk much either which really surprised me. I expected a hug fest.

I bet in the rematch he comes in heavier and fights going forward more. And brings out the octopus holds to wear usyk down.

Reply

Fury is one giant asshole and Im glad he lost.

Reply

Usyk dominated Fury ,the so called combinations were all blocked Fury didnt land a punch most rounds but the skysports team called it like Fury was winning and landing everything he threw what a joke they were and the scorecards were a joke also Fury won 3 rounds MAX! That effin ref was bought or the biggest moron in officiating history ,let Tyson do anything to survive ,hold the ropes low blows you name it!

Throughout Muhammad Ali’s career, the worst he ever looked in the ring, aside from when Holmes beat him, was when Joe Frazier seriously hurt him in the 11th round of their first fight. As Ali staggered around the ring, obviously on queer street, he tried to play it off, and in doing so looked like a damn fool. Ali lost to a better man that night, a war machine named Joe Frazier.

Fury, who oddly likens himself to Ali in boxing style, attempted the same thing in the 9th round of this fight. Arms down, and obviously on Queer Street, he tried to play it off, yet looked like drunken Humpty Dumpty on stilts. The fight should’ve been stopped at that point, as Humpty was obviously out on his feet and defenseless. It was only a matter of time before he crashed into the turnbuckle before flipping out the ring while losing a shoe.

Not surprising that Fury would claim he won. He has no class. The better fighter and true champion emerged last night and that is Oleksandr Usyk.

Reply

I do respect the fact that Fury backed off a little on the “I won”. He was honest when he said it’s difficult to judge a fight when you just finished it. Ive watched the fight three times. I wanted to really look at each round rather than go with a gut feeling. I think Usyk won, but only by a point. So the last card is what I would have scored. There was a couple rounds where Fury was playing, but Usyk was landing. So you cant just give Fury the round because he is being flashy.

With that said ill comment now on the knock down. The ref did mess up in the fact he should have jumped in a lot earlier if he was going to do a standing eight count. If the ropes are the only think saving you from falling, then you get the standing eight count. Had he done this Fury would have received the count and possibly get dropped again since there would have been more time left. That doesnt bother me as much as the damage a fighter takes when you allow him to fall all over the ring getting hit like he was. He was out and getting tagged, falling back and tagged again. Im also okay with the long eight count because if a fighter is close to being waved off the ref needs a little more time to make sure. Look at AJ and Ruiz. That ref really took time looking at AJ.

In the end the right guy won.

On a side note Fury said Usyk would be the running and it was Fury who ran the whole time. Fury also said Usyk couldnt hurt him and he wont be able to say that in the lead up to the rematch.

Final note is on Eddie Hearn.
I like Eddie, he is great for his guys. He has been hyping AJ Fury and saying Fury would beat Usyk. He knows that Usyk fighting AJ a third time wont sell because AJ has lost twice and I think mentally would break down in a third match.

I wont be shocked if we see Parker Usyk next, Fury AJ on the card.

Fury is not wrong he was winning that fight on the scorecards up to the ninth round by at least 2 rounds. I do believe if Usyk wasn’t awarded the knockdown or have stun Fury in that round Fury would have edged him in that fight. It was a great fight. They definitely need to run it back.

Reply

It was a great fight and super close if Usyk wasn’t awarded the knockdown or take the ninth round the way he did Fury most likely would have won that fight. He was up on the scorecards by at least 2 rounds is how close it was. Usyk didn’t come on till the 2nd half of the fight. I think people were upset that the ref didn’t stop the fight and I don’t think he should have. The undisputed was on the line let them fight. Fury was wobbly but wasn’t completely out of it. The ref too me did the right thing call it a knockdown. Fury was low to the ground and leaning on the ropes in boxing that’s a knockdown.

Reply

It was close and could have gone either way. But I think think the judges were right. Usyk winning by a point is fair. A draw would have been fair too but it wouldn’t have been good for the sport. Fury winning by a point would be pushing it though, esp with the knockdown. I think Lennox Lewis was right in saying that Fury had a lack of discipline. Fury has enough to beat Usyk in a rematch but only if he’s more disciplined. If he wasn’t caught in the 9th it would have been a completely one sided fight in Fury’s favour but that’s heavyweight boxing. Usyk winning was fair and the right result all considered.

Reply

Fury logic: Ukraine is at war, so the judges will side with Usyk. Dosser.

Reply

I wonder why Fury ditched his kilt and left the ring in just his pants?

Something to do with the concussion?

Usyk makes big Brits act silly.

Reply

Fury finally got what he deserved. Looked horrible last fight. Takes way to long to find and now lost to a cruiserweight. Time for retirement.

Reply

Well done Usyk. a pity the Ref didn’t let you finish Fury off by not letting you knock him out.

Reply

Under the unified rules of boxing there is no ‘standing eight count’ but rather a ‘mandatory eight count’ when a boxer is knocked down. A boxer is knocked down when he would have fallen down but for the ropes holding him up. People should know the rules before making comments.

Reply

No need to be alarmed Fury has to say that to try and sale the rematch. He knows he really lost in the 9th round but the ref saved him.

Reply

That was an incredible fight between 2 great fighters and the right man won.

Reply

“I won that fight in my opinion”. Except the fight was not in your opinion, it was in a boxing ring.

Reply

One of the best things about the fight outcome, is hopefully it takes John Fury out of the spotlight. The pompous idiot literally assaulted a member of Usyk’s team at the press conference with a headbutt. I wonder if any legal action will be taken against John Fury?

Reply

It went exactly as predicted other than the judges giving him more rounds than he earned.

Reply

Usyk won the fight. As he said before-hand; “If size mattered, the elephant would be the king of the jungle!”

Reply

Ohhhhh gypsy queen. 2 of the 3 judges disagree with you. And you were given a gift by the ref of not being knocked out in the 9th.

Reply

I have watched that fight 4 times, and the more i watch it (especially the 9th round ), the more i am convinced that the ref is corrupted. Fury was allowed to get away with a lot of crap throughout the whole match, but the 3 worst moments happened in the 9 th. the first was when Usyx rocked Fury who fell back into the ropes, when Usyx was about to go after him, the ref(instinctively ) put his hands on Usyx`s chest blocking him. The second was when he was completely out of it but did not go down, Usyx`s left hand was co*cked ready to apply the finishing touch, The ref chose then to jump in to Fury a standing count, the third that count lasted 20 seconds, giving Fury time to last the round out. He ,the ref even took time to wipe his gloves although he was never down. That guy should be investigated, Fury ,in my opinion has got some voodoo magic on the whole boxing establishment. He was cheating from the get go in his career, he was forced to re glove in the ring, he was caught doped, dropped out of matches with bogus excuses (one after after the weigh-in), he told the drug testers to F… off, he was allowed to continue fighting with more blood than the blood bank streaming down his face against Wallin and finally he blatantly elbowed Ngannou right in front of the ref.
