Tyson Fury may have stepped away from boxing, but the debates surrounding his two fights with Oleksandr Usyk continue to burn. And if you ask Fury himself, there’s no debate at all. The former heavyweight champion remains adamant that he defeated Usyk both times, going as far as to say the rematch “wasn’t even close.”
His comments, delivered in recent interviews and social posts, have reignited discussion across the boxing world — and reminded fans that even in retirement, Fury’s voice still shakes the division.

Despite the official scorecards — which awarded both fights to Usyk — Fury maintains that the judges got it wrong.
Rewatching the Fights “Hundreds of Times”

“The Second Fight Was Not Close”
Fury insists the rematch was clear in his favor.
“Please, go and watch the fight,” he said. “Even the commentators after the fight said Fury was up by four rounds — every single one of them” RingSide24 rtfight.com.
He argues that the narrative shifted only after the scorecards were read, and that live commentary supported his performance throughout the bout.
