Tyson Fury has declared that he should have won his fight with Oleksandr Usyk in Riyadh on Saturday night.
The boxing star was beaten by unanimous decision at the Kingdom Arena, with Usyk preserving his 100 per cent unbeaten record as a professional in the process.
Fury performed well, certainly far better than in their first showdown back in May.
Yet it was Usyk who was crowned as the winner, with the 37-year-old finishing strongly after a sluggish start.

After the bout, Fury was visibly furious.
He decided not to offer his verdict on the showdown and instead walked away from the ring, while Daniel Dubois gatecrashed Usyk’s interview.
Fury has been filmed talking to his former coach, Ben Davison, backstage following the clash.
And the 36-year-old has insisted that he deserved to win, rather than his rival.

“I swear to God I thought I won it by at least three rounds,” said the Briton, who has now lost a professional boxing match for a second time.
Fury’s downbeat reaction was in stark contrast to Usyk’s.
The 37-year-old has now beaten the Briton twice, having overcome the likes of Dubois, Tony Bellew and Anthony Joshua in the past.
And Fury thanked his wife for her support after coming out on top out in the Middle East.
