Frank Warren is pleased with the performance of his ward, but he understands why the victory was given to the Ukrainian.
Tyson Fury has done enough to win the fight for the title of absolute world champion. This is what British boxer promoter Frank Warren thinks.
According to the functionary, his ward played well in the first half of the match, but then the Ukrainian got a second wind.
And the decisive event was a knockdown in the ninth round, then the victory was given to Usik.
“It was a fight of two halves. I thought Tyson was ahead in the seventh round. At the end of the seventh round, Fury beat Usyk with a few punches.
Usyk slumped in his chair, got a second wind and came out to fight some more. He won every round until the twelfth, and one of them was 10-8, the ninth round. It was a close fight, but most thought Usyk won because he knocked his opponent out in the ninth round.
I believe Tyson did enough to win. This is the biggest super heavyweight fight of this century,” Warren was quoted as saying by Boxing247.
Let’s remember that Usik’s victory over Fury brought him the absolute heavyweight championship. The fight went all 12 rounds. The Ukrainian won by split decision – 115:112, 114:112, 113:114.
Earlier, Usik’s team told how the referee helped Fury fight the Ukrainian.
