Tyson Fury reportedly left the ring after his defeat by Oleksandr Usyk due to a 'disrespectful' act.

On Saturday night, Usyk delivered another masterful performance as he scored a second successive victory over Fury at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The 37-year-old Ukrianian won via unanimous decision after judges Gerardo Martinez, Patrick Morley and Ignacio Robles scored the bout 116-112 in favour of Usyk.

Immediately after the bout, while Usyk was being interviewed inside the ring, current IBF heavyweight title holder Daniel Dubois gatecrashed the scene.

The Brit, who beat Anthony Joshua back in September, demanded a rematch with Usyk, saying: "Hey Usyk - give me my revenge! I want my revenge!"

Usyk instantly accepted the challenge, he replied: "His Excellency (Turki Alalshikh), please make me fight with Daniel Dubois. Thank you."

However, Dubois' actions were met with criticism from former IBF super bantamweight and WBA featherweight champion Carl Frampton.

As reported by The Sun, Fury stormed out of the ring after Dubois gatecrashed Usyk's in-ring interview, with Frampton labelling the 27-year-old's behaviour as 'disrespectful'.

The report stated: "TNT Sports commentator Carl Frampton labelled Dubois' behaviour "disrespectful", with his timing preventing Fury from being able to speak to the crowd."

Frampton later revealed he scored the fight as a draw, he said: "I scored it myself a draw, so I think if you score it either way by a round, to Fury or Usyk, you can’t really complain, but to give him only one round from the last six seems a bit wrong.

"But Fury was better tonight, so Usyk had to be better. Fury held the ring better, held the ring more, but Usyk had to up his game, and he did that. That is what champion fighters do."

Frampton added: "I’m sure Fury is gutted and disappointed, and they all probably feel he should have won it tonight. I scored it a draw, but I feel the three judges probably had it too wide.

"Out of all 12 rounds, there wasn’t any that was one-sided, so you’re always going to see different scorecards. To only give him four rounds, seems very unfair to me."
