      Fury celebrated wildly in the ring after two judges scored it 76-73 in his favour with the other favouring Paul 75-74.
      He then broke down in tears and declared he would accept a rematch if Paul wanted it.
      However, it seems that some Sky customers watching the BT Sports pay-per-view bout on Sky Glass TV devices MISSED the final stages of the bout due to a technical issue.
      And many of them took to Twitter to vent their fury – no pun intended – and demand a refund.

      “Just because I’ve not put on loads of weight doesn’t mean to say I’m fit. I wouldn’t really be able to do any running.
      “Put it this way, I’ve been invited a number of times over the last few years to play legends games or whatever you want to call it.
      “I’d find it really difficult because I wouldn’t be able to get around. Too many injury problems.
      “I try to have a decent diet and I’m obviously weary about putting on too much weight.
      “But I certainly wouldn’t be fit enough to go on any sort of run. I do a small bit of cycling but even that – I’m not exactly Sean Kelly.” More
