"What's the point of rooting for someone?" Russian MMA fighter says Fury sold the fight to Usyk

Russian mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter Vyacheslav Datsik spoke disparagingly about the fight between Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) and Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs). The MMA representative called the May 18 fight pornography, for which he was harshly ridiculed by fans.

"Did you watch the fight? It was not interesting. I assumed it would be pornography. From the guys' words, I realized that there was. Will I be rooting for Fury in the rematch? He's already sold the fight. What's the point in rooting for someone? I'm not interested in this pornography," Datsyk told the propaganda channel Match TV.

Sports.ru readers laughed at the 44-year-old fighter. They reminded him that he participates in clown shows where he fights ex-footballers, showbiz stars and bloggers.

"And what about the Datsyk-Yemelianenko fight?", "But to stand up to Dzhigurda for 10 rounds and not fly away from Berkova is a good thing", "Datsyk is interested in participating in fake fights named after Khryunov. To get a penny before we forget," "Slava, what do you do?", "Recognize the merits of the absolute champion, you won't even dream of this title," people write in the comments.

Earlier, another Russian MMA representative, Oleg Taktarov, was surprised by the victory of our champion and also said that Usyk cannot be considered a legend because of his pro-Ukrainian position.

Usyk defeated Fury by split decision - 115:112, 113:114, 114:113. Tyson also expressed his desire to visit Ukraine.

Referee Mark Nelson's decision to score Tyson a knockdown has drawn criticism from experts. At the same time, it became known about a little-known rule used by the referee.

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 has already decided on a rematch. However, the title of absolute world champion will not be at stake, as Usyk will be stripped of his International Boxing Federation (IBF) belt by June 1. This decision angered the British Tony Bellew. Filip Hrgovic (17-0, 14 KOs) and Daniel Dubois (20-2, 19 KOs) will fight for the title.

As reported by OBOZ.UA, Tyson Fury told what he was most pleased with in the fight with Oleksandr 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.
