Tyson Fury has put out his own scorecard after rewatching his fight against Oleksandr Usyk.
Last month, all eyes were on the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia as Fury and Usyk battled to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.
In the end, after an entertaining bout that went the full distance, Ukrainian Usyk came out on top after being awarded the win via a split decision.
The 37-year-old is now the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the world since Lennox Lewis in 1999.

During the aftermath of the fight, Fury was heard shouting: Get up boys. F*****g ripped me off there.
“Listen I won the fight by four or five rounds, but you can never tell when you are in there.”
Recently, Fury said on his Furocity YouTube Channel: “I've watched the fight back lots of times and still got the same answer - I thought I won the fight.
“Usyk knows he didn't beat me…I thought I boxed the head right off him for most of the rounds. He landed good punch in round eight and busted my nose, in round nine he had a 10-8 round, and I gave him round ten.”

He added: “But other than that I didn't give him any other rounds.”
After some calculations, it means that Fury scored the fight 116-111 in his favour, with the Brit winning nine rounds and Usyk only three.
Back in May, immediately after the fight, Fury said inside the ring: “I believe I won that fight. I believe he won a few of the rounds but I won the majority of them.

“What can you do? It's one of the decisions in boxing. We both put on a good fight. Best we could do…”
He added: “I'll be back, I've got a rematch clause. We go back. Have a little rest up, spend some time with my family and we go again in October.”
It was later announced that the rematch between Fury and Usyk will take place on December 21.
