"Not interesting. It looks like sparring": the head of Russian boxing called the fight between Usyk and Fury boring
International Boxing Association (IBA) President Umar Kremlev (real name Lutfulloyev) tried to ridicule the May 18 fight between Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) and Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs). The Russian called the fight an ordinary uninteresting sparring match, noting that he had not watched the historic confrontation.
Kremlin said this in an interview with Championship.com. It is unclear how the accomplice of Vladimir Putin's dictatorial regime and the head of Russian boxing concluded that the final result could have been different, and the fight itself was boring.

Fury missed a lot of punches from Usyk.
"Do you agree with the judge's decision in the fight between Usyk and Fury? The fight was back and forth. The rematch will show everything. To be honest, I didn't even watch the fight between Usyk and Fury, we just discussed it. It's not interesting when there's no drive and no risk. It was more like a sparring match," Kremlin said.
