First claiming his May decision loss to Oleksandr Usyk came off the back of the latter’s native Ukraine’s involvement in a war with neighboring, Russia, former WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury has now claimed the bout was “too easy” for him.
Fury, a former WBC heavyweight champion, headlined a massive title unification clash with the unbeaten, Usyk earlier this year in Riyadh, suffering his first professional boxing loss in a stunning decision defeat to the Ukraine star.
Dropping a split decision loss, Fury – who was dropped in the ninth round after a lengthy and furious barrage from Usyk, has already agreed to fight the latter in an immediate rematch for the championships, with the second pairing between the two slated for late December in a return to Saudi Arabia.
