Was Tyson Fury robbed against Oleksandr Usyk? Former UFC champ Michael Bisping weighs in on judging controversy

Former UFC star, Michael Bisping has shared his thoughts on last night’s Oleksandr Usyk rematch with former champion, Tyson Fury — amid continued dispute over the scorecards, which saw the challenger win just four rounds en route to a unanimous decision (116-112, 116-112, 116-112) loss.

Retaining his WBC, WBO, IBO, and WBA heavyweight crowns, Ukrainian fan-favorite pugilist, Usyk would hand Fury his second consecutive loss since May, having won the WBC title from the British veteran in Saudi Arabia in another debated split decision win — despite almost forcing a ninth round TKO victory.

And in the aftermath of his second career win over Morecambe native, Fury, former undisputed world heavyweight champion, Usyk’s win was called into question by some pundits, as well as Queensberry Promotions leader, Frank Warren who claimed he was “dumbfounded” by how his client had been beaten again.
