Tyson Fury stormed out the ring after the judges ruled he lost his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday.
Seven months after suffering his first professional defeat at the hands of the Ukrainian, Fury returned to the Kingdom Arena in search of revenge.
Unlike his antics in their first encounter the Gypsy King was all business from the opening bell as he kept his guard high and looked to put the pressure on his opponent and land damaging strikes from the outset.
The challenger started brightly and maintained his volume throughout the opening rounds but Usyk was as crafty and elusive as ever as he found room to land counters on the larger man.
As the clash reached the later rounds, both fighters had enjoyed their share of success throughout before all eyes turned to the judges’ decision.
All three officials at ringside scored the bout 116-112 in favour of Usyk, with a bewildered Fury seen later seen discussing the decision in the ring with promoter Frank Warren.

Fury subsequently departed the ring without giving a post-fight interview and Warren revealed he had been left dumbfounded by the judges’ decision.
‘How can Tyson only got four rounds in this fight?’ Warren asked.
‘It’s impossible. He got four rounds, each judge gave him four rounds, all different rounds.’
‘He’s very disappointed, as I am as well. But I mean, I’m not saying there’s any bias [but] everybody along the front row there, we all thought is the same.’
‘Nuts. I don’t get it. I’m really, really disappointed with that.’
Warren also revealed that one of three judges ringside had not scored a single round for Fury after the midway point of the fight.
He continued: ‘How can that be? That’s impossible.
‘And same with the other judge here, you give him one round at the last at the last six, and the same here with this guy.

‘It’s crazy. And I’m calm and collected. I’m not screaming and shouting.
‘That is a nonsense. Don’t get me wrong, they both put their heart and soul into it. Both fighters have sacrificed a lot.
‘I know what Tyson went through, what he did for this fight, and I know Usyk had done the same thing.
‘All you want is a level playing field and a fair crack all the way, and that scoring was not good at all.’
Fury later claimed he had won the fight ‘by three rounds’ – despite the clear margin of victory in favour of Usyk.
