Former world heavyweight boxing champion, Oscar De La Hoya has shared his ideas from entrance row tonight as Oleksandr Usyk took on former world champion, Tyson Fury for the second time this 12 months — urging the latter to return to the ring triumphantly following his second straight defeat.
Returning to the ring for the primary time since his Might loss to Usyk, Morecambe native, Fury would look to avenge his sole skilled loss in boxing, through which he dropped his unbeaten 35-fight document, in addition to his undisputed WBC heavyweight championship.
And tonight, Fury would droop to his second consecutive loss to his Ukrainian foe, regardless of claims from his promoter, Frank Warren who revealed he was “dumbfounded” by the decide’s unanimous verdict in opposition to his consumer.
“I’m dumbfounded,” Frank Warren advised TNT Sports activities. “They [the judges] gave him (Tyson Fury) four rounds out of the 12 rounds, which is impossible. I mean, I’ve been around a long time and I know I’m biased, but one judge didn’t give him any round from round six onwards. Not one round, look. How can that be? That’s impossible. And the same with the other judge here. They give him one round at the last at the last six and the same here with this guy.”
“It’s crazy, you know, and I’m not, I’m calm and collected. I’m not screaming and shouting. That is a nonsense. Everybody along that front row there, including, and their places were long as pipes, the management of Usyk and everybody along the (front and Oscar De La Hoya and I had him winning by three, four rounds.”
Oscar De La Hoya urged Tyson Fury to maintain preventing after tonight’s loss
Nonetheless, receiving props and encouragement from former world champion striker, De La Hoya — Fury, who equally claimed he believed he beat Usyk by no less than three rounds solely to endure a judging loss, was urged to proceed preventing by the 51-year-old ex-pugilist.
“Congratulations, (Oleksandr) Usyk, you are a gentleman and a scholar,” Oscar De La Hoya posted on his official X account. “Tyson (Fury), my amigo, back to the drawing board. YOU WILL BE BACK!!”
Congratulations Usyk, you’re a gentleman and a scholar. Tyson my amigo, again to the drafting board. YOU WILL BE BACK!!
