Klimas criticized the refereeing of the Usyk – Fury fight
The manager of Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs), Egis Klimas, harshly criticized the refereeing of our compatriot's fight with Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs). The representative of the Ukrainian boxer was especially outraged by the scoring of Canadian Craig Metcalfe, who gave the victory to the British boxer with a score of 114-113.
Klimas said this in an emotional interview with the Second Out YouTube channel. According to Usyk's manager, boxing refereeing has recently turned into a real lottery and there is no guarantee that anything will change dramatically in the rematch between Oleksandr and Tyson.
"Lately, I've been just amazed at the decisions of the judges. I just have no words. There are no words. I was sitting in the exact same place as the judge, and I just don't understand how he could have counted this. It's just a shame, a shame! Very bad judging. We can't do anything about it. One fight is scored well, the other is not, it's like a lottery. You win like a lottery if you get a good judge. I don't want the judges to be on our side, I just want honest work from them," Klimas said.
Former world champion David Haye criticized American referee Mark Nelson, who recorded Fury's knockdown, immediately after the May 18 fight. A video of the former boxer's reaction to the referee's actions was released. At the same time, it became known about a little-known rule used by the judge.
Following the fight, the Ukrainian was suspended from boxing for medical reasons. He was hospitalized after the fight. Promoter Oleksandr Krasiuk spoke about the details of the Ukrainian's jaw injury.
Later it became known that Usyk could have been arrested in Saudi Arabia after the fight. And the knockdown in the fight was found in an eighteenth-century painting.
Fury said that he was most pleased with the fight with Usyk. A new video of the British fighter's knockdown in the fight with the Ukrainian was also published. In England, there is talk that the Gypsy King will end his career after the defeat.
