Tony has just made a tremendous point. Would Mark Lyson have called that stoppage if it was Oleksandr Usyk in the same boat, the answer is fucking not.
I love Usyk, one of my favourite fighters ever. But I didn’t like that tonight. With 1 second to go, I don’t think it’s fair.
Francis Ngannou shows love to Rico Verhoeven after that controversial stoppage 🤝
Ngannou also lost via controversial decision to Tyson Fury back in 2023
"Outsiders will never win, trust me I know." #UsykRico
Everyone in boxing feels the need to ‘protect it’, to protect the champions, to protect the sport.
But in doing so, in acts of unfeasible corruption or at best blatant incompetence, it has become a joke.
That was the most rigged shit I’ve ever seen. Never watching boxing again. What a fucking joke of a sport. Rico Verhoeven just schooled one of the best boxers in the world and still got robbed. Fuck boxing, he won that fight.
