Fuming: Fury Storms Out of the Ring Post-Fight
I think he got a little Christmas gift from the judges. An early Christmas gift… – Tyson Fury
If you haven’t heard the latest boxing news, Tyson Fury lost to Oleksandr Usyk in their highly anticipated rematch this weekend. While this doesn’t come as a shock to many pugilist purists, based on his post-fight reactions, The Gypsy King isn’t in agreement with the judges or the millions of viewers and critics that also scored the fight in Usyk’s favor.
Denial is common within sports, but I think I speak for most boxing fans when I say Usyk clearly won the fight in Riyadh this past Saturday, and Fury’s delusional reactions aren’t doing him any good.
The punch stats say it all, ladies and gentlemen.
Look at that accuracy 🎯 from Oleksandr Usyk in comparison to Tyson Fury’s.

Much like the first contest, it was no landslide victory by any means. However, similarly, the better man did more, and when the judges favored Usyk 116-112 on the scorecards, England’s heavyweight hero ignored media members for interviews as he stormed out of the ring while being consoled by his wife, Paris Fury.
Tyson Fury has since remained certain he won the fight ‘by three rounds,’ even though the final result was unanimous from all judges across the board.
I’m not sure how hard Fury got hit. Still, he’s certainly coming from a delusional standpoint right now, alongside his promoter Frank Warren, who is also one of the few people proclaiming his fighter should’ve gotten the nod.

Usyk Received an Early X-Mas Gift, Says Fury
While we didn’t get to hear the Gypsy King talk smack directly after the fight, boxing rumors were fortunately gifted with his presence at the post-fight press conference, as the Englishmen let his thoughts known:
“I felt a little Christmas spirit in there, and I think he got a little Christmas gift from the judges. An early Christmas gift,” Fury told reporters.
You can’t help but laugh; Fury is such a character that even in defeat and a blemished record, a personality of this kind will never be short of big-money fights. But whether or not we’ll see him in boxing fights again is yet to be known…
“You might do, you might not do. Who knows. We’ll talk about that next year,” Fury replied when asked if we’ll see him fight again.

‘F*ck the Computers,’ Says Fury
While discussing Fury’s comedic responses, comments, and personality, let’s talk about the AI-judging system in closing.
Yes, Fury was displeased with the 116-112 result the human judges had put forth, but he had some select words for the all-new artificial intelligence judge software tested during the fight.
When told the AI judge scored the fight 118-112, the Gypsy King wasn’t impressed:
“Sh*t. F*ck all computers, keep humans,” Fury commented.
“More jobs for humans, less jobs for computers. F*ck electric cars, too,” he added.

It’s nice to know that even with back-to-back losses to Usyk, Fury’s humor can never be knocked out!
