Tyson Fury’s team has announced plans to contest and appeal the scorecards from his highly anticipated fight against Oleksandr Usyk. Fury suffered a surprise defeat, losing 116-112 on all three scorecards, and his team is adamant that the judges’ decisions were “bloody horrendous”.
The Fury camp believes that the scorecards did not accurately reflect the events of the fight, which saw both heavyweights engage in a closely contested and intense battle. While Usyk’s victory was hailed by many as a masterclass performance, Fury’s team is convinced that their fighter did enough to win or, at the very least, secure a draw.
Fury’s promoter, Bob Arum, expressed his outrage at the scorecards, stating: “We’re going to appeal this decision, and we’re going to make a lot of noise about it. The scorecards were a travesty, and we’re not going to let it stand.”
The appeal process is expected to be a lengthy and complex one, with Fury’s team set to present their case to the relevant governing bodies. While it is unclear whether the appeal will be successful, one thing is certain – the controversy surrounding the scorecards has only added to the drama and intrigue of this epic heavyweight showdown.
The loss to Usyk marked Fury’s first defeat since 2014, and the Gypsy King will be eager to reclaim his title and silence his critics. As the appeal process unfolds, boxing fans around the world will be watching with bated breath, eager to see what the future holds for these two heavyweight giants.
