The fallout from the Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol fight has been quite something.
After an enthralling encounter that could have gone either way, it was Beterbiev who emerged victorious and became undisputed light heavyweight champion.
But the nature of the decision has led to much discussion.
While some had Artur Beterbiev as the winner, there were disagreements with that.
Others had the fight as a draw between the two competitors.
And some had Dmitry Bivol as the winner.
Despite Bivol accepting the defeat graciously, his team were keen to say otherwise.
Shortly after the fight, Bivol’s team lodged a protest against the decision.
Within a short period of time, they had already requested for an immediate rematch.
After Eddie Hearn chastised one judge for awarding the fight 116-112 to Artur Beterbiev, mainly have been asked what they scored.
One of those seems to be Tyson Fury.
In the lead up to his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk, Fury has been speaking to the press and was asked about the Beterbiev and Bivol fight.
Speaking to ESPN, Tyson Fury shared his thoughts on the fight and what was on his score card between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol.
The Gypsy King told the broadcaster that he had the fight in favour of the winner Beterbiev.
Fury scored the fight 115-113, which was the same score that judge Glenn Feldman gave in the fight.
So it seems that Tyson Fury agreed with the overall decision of the fight and thought one of the judges got the score bang on.
Tyson Fury tells ESPN he scored the Artur Beterbiev-Dmitry Bivol fight for Beterbiev, 115-113, “same as Glenn Feldman.” Fury is truly a real boxing fan. Not many active fighters who can tell you off hand how they scored a recent fight and know which judge scored it the same way.
