Tyson Fury, despite losing on points, still believes that he is the one who deserves to win. “Before round 12, if the coaching staff told me I was losing points, I would attack and knock out Usyk. But no one said that, because everyone thought I was winning points. Personally I also thought I won this match, but the final result was different,” Fury shared.
The former WBC Heavyweight champion added: “No matter what people say, I still believe I won. Usyk only beat me in a few rounds, and I was the one who won more rounds. But I didn’t.” It cannot be done otherwise, because such results always happen.”
Fury also claimed that Usyk was favored by the referee during the fight. “Maybe for some reason, a Ukrainian boxer like him has always been given priority by the referee recently. I’m telling the truth, not sitting around crying and blaming the failure. like everyone thinks,” Fury affirmed.
Despite losing to Usyk, Fury was still satisfied with his performance. Both boxers competed well and gave the audience a satisfying match. The match did not take place in a one-sided situation, but both had moments to turn the situation around and overwhelm their opponents.
“I lost this time, but if we meet next time, everything will be very different. I will prepare more carefully to win against the opponent. For now, I feel very lucky to have good opportunity to compete. Now I will go home with everyone in my family,” Fury said.
Tyson Fury, Oleksandr Usyk and the entities related to these two boxers themselves have not disclosed their income in the upcoming super classic match. However, close sources have revealed part of the amount of money they receive, which is expected to be not small.
Tyson Fury will likely receive no less than $100 million from his match with Usyk. As for the Ukrainian boxer, his income is a bit lower, about 80-90 million USD. It can be seen that the difference in income between the two boxers is not much, consistent with their level and class.
Previously, when Fury and Usyk were negotiating to compete in 2023, the two had broken their contract. The reason is that at that time, Fury increasingly made demands that were beyond Usyk’s tolerance. Initially, Fury wanted a 60-40 split. Usyk’s side agreed, but then Fury raised it to 70-30.
