Tyson Fury failed in his bid to avenge his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk.
The British heavyweight dropped a unanimous decision verdict to the Ukrainian with all three judges scoring the bout 116-112.
‘The Gypsy King’ had vowed to punish and hurt Usyk but the fight was much more of a chess match between the division’s best fighters.
Usyk was judged to do enough to retain his WBC, WBO and WBA heavyweight world titles.
When the decision was announced a clearly disappointed Fury made a hasty exit from the ring, but moments later, the fighter from Morecambe bumped into former trainer Ben Davison as he made his way towards the dressing room.

Fury began the conversation by asking: “What do you think, truthfully?
Davison replied: “I thought it was dead tight. I thought you were going to get it, if I’m being honest.”
Fury, clearly annoyed by the judges scorecard, hit back: “I swear to god, I thought I’d won it by at least three rounds.”

Fury’s promoter Frank Warren was equally vexed at the decision.
Post fight he said: “It’s nuts. Did you have him as only winning four rounds out of eight?”
He added: “Very harsh. It’s nuts. I don’t get it. But it is what it is, and we’ll see what happens in the future with Tyson.”
