Former undisputed heavyweight boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk demonstrated exceptional boxing skills in his rematch against Tyson Fury. However, the aftermath of the fight has sparked considerable discussion within the community, with many, including Frank Warren, expressing disbelief over the result. In response, the Ukrainian boxer has shared his thoughts on the matter.

The final scorecard for the rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury showed a victory for the Ukrainian boxer with a score of 116-112. This suggests that Usyk won decisively against Fury. However, Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren, seemingly disagreed with that. As such, he even described the judges’ scorecard as horrendous. Interestingly, when Usyk heard Warren’s reaction, he referred to him as blind.

Uncle Frank, I think blind. If Tyson said Christmas gift, okay, thank you god, not Tyson. Thank you, God!…. Thank you my team. Listen, Frank (is) crazy, man. You know? I think, that’s my opinion.
