Undefeated heavyweight champion points to a "very strange" situation in the Usyk– Fury fight
Commenting on the fight between Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) and Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs), Ukrainian heavyweight boxer Vladyslav Sirenko (20-0, 17 KOs) drew attention to the unclear behavior of the referee. Sirenko believes that the judge behaved unprofessionally in the ring.
"A very emotional and interesting fight. You don't often see Oleksandr Usyk boxing as a number one, attacking and pressing. I was very impressed when he managed to knock Fury down. In our opinion, it was a stolen early victory. Because the referee should either stop the fight... He was behaving very strangely, allowing Tyson to rest, giving him extra time," tribuna.com quoted Sirenko as saying.
