Read our privacy policy Carl Frampton has said Tyson Fury looked ‘ridiculous’ after weighing in at 281lb for his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk, who beat the “Gypsy King” again on Saturday. Seven months after outpointing Fury in Riyadh, Usyk produced the same result in the Saudi city, retaining the unified heavyweight titles. Tyson Fury fell to a second defeat by Oleksandr Usyk in seven months “But if you’re training hard twice a day, lifting weights and running and sparring, and everything else, I don’t know how you can look like that.” The suggestion that Fury faded as the fight went on, perhaps due to his weight, was backed up by the judges’ scorecards. But while Indy Sport gave Fury two of the last seven rounds, we arrived at the same scorecard as the judges: 116-112.
