Tyson Fury has an interesting reason behind why he lost to Oleksandr Usyk . Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) was knocked down late by Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) en route to a split decision loss in their heavyweight boxing match May at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh. Usyk became the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999. Fury thought he had done enough to win the fight. “The Gypsy King” felt he was comfortably outboxing Usyk before getting floored in Round 9, and went as far as calling Usyk an easy opponent.
