Usyk: I'm ready for more; Fury: I swear to God, but I was sure I was winning  - 1

"I won, that's good, thank God! I don't know why I manage to be stronger in the second half of the fights, maybe because I train well. My wife helps me, the children too. Today my two sons won judo competitions and told me: "Dad, now it's your turn". Tyson is a great boxer and a great opponent. Those were an incredible 24 rounds in my career. Thank you very much. I dedicate this victory to my mother and to all the mothers in Ukraine".

This was stated by Oleksandr Usyk after defending his belts of the World Boxing Council, the World Boxing Association and the World Boxing Organization. He also won his rematch with Tyson Fury in Saudi Arabia.

The Ukrainian was declared the winner by unanimous decision.

After the fight, he said that he can do even more than what he showed tonight and is ready for the next challenge, Usyk said.

He was challenged to the ring for a rematch by Daniel Dubois and it seems that he has nothing against facing him again.

"I can do more, I'm ready. But first, I'm going to go home and rest," the Ukrainian also said.

Tyson Fury was extremely disappointed after his second loss. "The Gypsy King" quickly left the ring and did not want to give an interview, but backstage he was heard telling someone from his staff: "I thought I was winning. I swear to God, but I was sure I won the last three rounds".

His promoter Frank Warren was of a similar opinion and did not agree with the judges at all.

"How can Tyson only win 4 rounds? That is impossible. Four rounds according to all the judges. And all different rounds", Warren began.

"I don't know what's coming now. He is extremely disappointed, and so am I. Really, I don't want to talk about bias, but I don't understand this decision of the three judges. We all thought the result was much closer", the promoter added.

Then he was asked if Fury would fight again.

"That depends on him. It's too early to talk about that right now. The fight has just ended, emotions are high. We'll see. "But it's crazy. Crazy! I don't understand it, I'm really disappointed. But it's the way it is, so we'll see what the future holds for Tyson," Warren concluded.
