The Briton considers the outcome of the fight for the title of absolute world champion fair
British boxer Derek Chisora considers the outcome of the fight for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion between Alexander Usik And Tyson Fury.
“To be honest, I didn’t keep count. I enjoyed the fight; I didn’t have time to count anything. I just enjoyed the fight,” Chisora said.
“I think this is the right outcome. In my opinion, Alexander worked more. I gave Tyson the middle of the fight, but when he was knocked down, I lost more. And let’s be honest: it was the slowest fucking countdown to ten. Do you understand me? It was a shame for boxing.”
On the night of May 19, Usik inflicted the first defeat of Fury in his professional career in a fight that took place at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia). The victory was awarded to the Ukrainian by a split decision: 115-112, 113-114 and 114-113.
Usik became the first absolute world heavyweight champion in the era of four belts. In the heavyweight division, the last time Lennox Lewis held absolute status was in 1999, but then three titles were enough for this title.
It was reported that an agreement had been reached between Usyk and Fury for a re-fight. The Chairman of the General Authority of Entertainment of Saudi Arabia, Turki Al al-Sheikh, stated that the rematch between Alexander and Tyson is scheduled for October 12-13 in Riyadh.
