Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Britain heavy weight boxer, Tyson Fury, has reacted to his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

Fury described his heavyweight title loss as one of the daftest decision in boxing history.<\/p>\n

He said at the ring side: \u201cI believe he won a few of the rounds, but I won the majority.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was one of the daftest decisions in boxing. I\u2019ll be back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Usyk defeated Fury following a split-decision in a dramatic match.<\/p>\n

Fury began well but was given a standing 10 count and saved by the bell after an Usyk onslaught in the ninth round.<\/p>\n

The scorecards gave 115-112 and 114-113 decisions in favour of the Ukrainian, with a third judge scoring it 114-113 to Fury.<\/p>\n

Fury lost for the first time in a 16-year professional career.<\/p>\n

He will get an immediate opportunity for revenge with a rematch planned for later this year.<\/p>\n
