Fury spoke about the fight with Usyk

Former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that the cut of the best moments of the fight with Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) almost entirely consists of episodes of the ninth round. The Gypsy King emphasized that the moment with the knockdown was important, but the fight itself was an equal struggle.

Fury said this in an interview with the iFL TV YouTube channel, commenting on the first defeat of his career in the professional ring. The British heavyweight noted that Usyk deserves respect not only for his work in the ring, but also for his outlook on life and faith in God.

"If you watch the cuts, you'll see him chasing me around the ring for 30 seconds. But it wasn't the whole fight. You know what I mean. They use these cuts because it's fair to Usyk. I congratulate him. If I wanted someone to beat me, it would be Usyk. Because he is a God-fearing Christian and a family man. So I pay tribute to him," Fury said.

Earlier it became known that Tyson wants to organize a trilogy with Oleksandr to go down in boxing history. In addition, the Briton accused the Ukrainian of disrupting the timing of the rematch.
