    Undisputed heavyweight boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk has paid tribute to opponent Tyson Fury after beating him by unanimous decision in their rematch in Riyadh

    Undisputed heavyweight boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk has paid tribute to opponent Tyson Fury after beating him by unanimous decision in their rematch in Riyadh


    Fury and promoter Frank Warren have lashed out at the judges, who all scored the contest 116-112 in favour of the Ukrainian.

    Usyk retains the major WBC, WBO and IBO belts.

    Fury kissed Usyk on the head after the fight.

    Usyk's been asked if they have a connection.



    Fury - however - claims he won the fight but for a festive coup.
