Boxing fans have questioned Tyson Fury's 'illegal' fight kit just seconds into his undisputed clash against Oleksandr Usyk.

As soon as Fury and Usyk engaged in battle for all the belts in the heavyweight division, fans online immediately spotted something peculiar about the Brit's attire.

They reckon his shorts are too high, claiming it covers his body thus protecting him from shots to the mid-rift.

One X user questioned: "Surely the size of Fury’s belt around shorts isn’t legal."

A second added: "Fury’s shorts are joke he may as well have a fully body armour on."

A third tweeted: "I can’t stand the way Fury wears his shorts. Please pull them down a bit man."

A fourth said: "Fury's shorts up to his armpits as usual."

A fifth wrote: "Tyson fury shorts looks too high."

Another commented: "Fury's shorts are ridiculously high."

In comparison to Usyk, his shorts don't cover his body as much as his opponent.

But Fury's shorts seem to be fine with referee Mark Nelson, who has yet to tell the WBC title holder to pull them down.

The shorts situation didn't prove crucial as Usyk went onto outpoint Fury by split decision to become the undisputed world champion.

Speaking after his victory, he said: "Since 2008 I was planning for this. It’s not for my win, it’s for my God, my supporters, my country, the Ukrainian soldiers, Ukrainian mother and father, children.

"I want to go to my home, I want to rest, a break, I want to eat, sleep, kiss my wife."
