Estimated read time 3 min read

Boxing fans have blasted the judges after Tyson Fury lost to Oleksandr Usyk in their crunch rematch on Saturday night.

Fury had gone into the clash hoping to get revenge on his rival following his defeat in their first showdown back in May.


But Usyk ended up winning via unanimous decision, despite there appearing to be little to separate the two men.

Fury was visibly disgusted as the result was read out, with the 36-year-old choosing to leave the ring without providing his verdict.

Frank Warren was also critical, with the boxing promoter taking aim at the judges for their scorecards.

And boxing fans on social media have ripped into the trio, with many feeling Fury was unlucky to lose.

“Tyson Fury has just been robbed so f***ing bad, no way that was 116-112 to Usyk,” were the words of one user.

“Fury been robbed there, Usyk has not won by that margin, what fight were the judges watching?” fumed a second.

With Fury choosing to leave the ring, Warren was forced to answer questions about his fighter.

The boxing promoter also criticised the judges, having been left baffled by their scorecards and the decision to give Usyk the win.

“How come Tyson only got four rounds in this fight? It’s impossible,” he fumed.

“He’s very disappointed as I am as well. Everyone along the front [of the ring] thought it was all the same way.

With Fury losing his last two bouts, it’s unclear what the future holds for the veteran.

He previously insisted he wants to keep boxing, despite approaching the twilight years of his career.

And Warren refused to speak on the Briton’s future, insisting only Fury can decide what he does next.

“It’s up to him. It’s just after a fight and emotions are running high,” he added.

“It’s nuts. Did you only give him four rounds out of eight? I don’t get it.

“I’m really disappointed. We’ll have to see what happens in the future for Tyson.

“I thought he was in control, boxed really well and had Usyk on his back foot.”
