“How come Tyson only got four rounds in this fight?” asked a perplexed Frank Warren after his fighter, Tyson Fury, was judged to have lost 116-112 on three different scorecards in his challenge of heavyweight king Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The fight was close, with several possible swing rounds, and Warren noted that the judges scored multiple rounds differently.
That was the nature of the fight, in which neither fighter dominated – although eight rounds to four did not tell the whole story

Warren said the scoring was “nuts.”

“I don’t get it. I’m really disappointed by that,” the promoter said. “I thought [Fury] was in control of the fight. I think he boxed extremely well, but it is what it is.”

Asked whether he felt the 36-year-old “Gypsy King” would box on, the Hall of Fame promoter Warren said: “That’s up to him. It’s too early after a fight. Emotions are running high.”

Fury was overheard talking to his former trainer, Ben Davison, saying afterwards he felt he had won the fight by at least three rounds.
Fury is now 34-2-1 (24 KOs).
