Tyson Fury<\/a> believes Oleksandr Usyk<\/a> was handed a ‘Christmas<\/a> gift’ by the judges following his rematch defeat in Saudi Arabia<\/a> on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

In another entertaining fight in Saudi Arabia, all three judges scored the contest 116-112 in favour of Usyk, although many believed that Fury had done enough to win more rounds<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fury felt he was the aggressor during the fight and felt he had done enough to convince the judges to secure a victory via decision<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After the fight, the 36-year-old also dismissed suggestions that Usyk is the best opponent he’s faced and claims the Ukrainian did not hurt him during the contest.<\/p>\n

‘Yeah, I was quite confident, I thought I won that fight again,’ Fury said after suffering the second defeat of his career.<\/p>\n

‘I thought I won the both fights but I’ve gone home with two losses on my record now so there’s not much I can do about it, I can just fight my heart out and do the best I can.<\/p>\n

‘But again, I’ll always believe until the day I die that I won that fight.<\/p>\n

‘Aggressive, on the front foot, listen, sometimes it’s hard to score.<\/p>\n

‘I feel a lot of people did, same score, Frank Warren had me three or four rounds up, a lot of people had me up at least two.<\/p>\n

‘Listen, I’m not crying over spilt milk, it’s happened now, I know boxing, been in it my whole life, you can’t change any decisions. But I’ll just always feel a little bit hard done by, not a little bit, actually a lot.<\/p>\n

‘I think when you don’t get the knockout this is what happens, you can’t guarantee a win.’<\/p>\n

Asked if he felt any spirit from Usyk in the ring, Fury replied: ‘I didn’t feel any spirit. I felt a little bit of Christmas spirit in there and I think he got a little Christmas gift from those judges, a Christmas gift early. <\/p>\n

‘I felt I won the both fights. I know what I had to do – knock him out to get a decision. But do you know what, it’s boxing.<\/p>\n

‘There’s no doubt in my mind I won the fight. That’s it, we can’t cry over it, can’t do much about it.<\/p>\n

‘The fight’s done now, it’s in the past, I’ve not got a decision, it is what it is, we move on, that’s it. I go home, I’ve not seen my kids for 12 weeks, it is what it is, you can’t change any decisions, I did the best I could, if I could’ve done any more I would’ve done, and that’s it.’<\/p>\n

Asked if Usyk is the best opponent he’s faced in his career, Fury replied: ‘Not really, to be fair.<\/p>\n

‘In that fight there he never hurt me once. I’ve got a couple of flesh wounds but they’ll be gone in two or three days, but not a mark on me.<\/p>\n

‘I know what’s happened, and that’s it, I go home, there’s not much I can say or do.<\/p>\n

‘In my opinion, it’s a Christmas gift, it’s not Oleksandr’s fault.’<\/p>\n
