TYSON FURY is still refusing to accept defeat to Oleksandr Usyk and said: “They took my virginity unfairly.”
Fury lost his undefeated record and WBC belt via split-decision following 45 minutes of thrilling action in Saudi Arabia in May.
Usyk was crowned the first four-belt undisputed heavyweight champion after becoming the first to inflict defeat on the Gypsy King.
The boxing superstar raged in the ring after the razor tight loss and claimed the Ukrainian hero got a sympathy vote amid the ongoing war with Russia.
Now 127 days on and Fury is adamant he did enough to win and feels he has been robbed of the previously shiny zero on his record.
He told iFL TV: “I don’t think it was close.

“Hands down, I will always believe that and Usyk will too. They got a gift decision over the Gypsy King, end of.
“If you give him eight, nine and ten and class nine as a two-rounder, he didn’t win any other rounds in that fight.
“Even give him round one for the sake of it and how does he win? He doesn’t.
“It is what it is, it’s over now. They’ve had my decision, they took my virginity unfairly.”

Fury, 36, gets his shot at redemption on December 21 in a rematch with Usyk, 37, back in Riyadh.
But the beaten Brit reckons his only chance of victory is a knockout with fears any close call will go the way of the champion.
Fury said: “If there wasn’t such big rewards at the end of it, I’d probably feel weird if I’d done it for £50, but considering I got broke in for a lot of money it doesn’t really matter.
“It is what it is and in my own heart if I thought I’d have lost the fight after the fight, I’d say I thought I lost the fight.
“But I didn’t believe I lost it and I still don’t believe I lost it. Nothing can ever tell me – I’ve watched the fight a million times and come up with the same conclusion every time.
But it is what it is you can’t undo a decision, but I’ve got the chance to do it again in December, and that’s what we’ll do.
“If it’s close, I’m not going to get it, am I? Like it was last time. So, I will knock him out.”
