Tyson Fury has furious response after hearing AI Judge’s scorecard for rematch against Oleksandr Usyk

The Gypsy King was not impressed by the innovative technology

Tyson Fury was not impressed after learning how AI scored his rematch against Oleksandr Usyk.

Last night saw Fury step back into the ring for a rematch against the Ukrainian boxer after losing via split decision back in May.

However, the Gypsy King’s furious comeback campaign – which included not speaking to wife Paris Fury for months – was all in vain as judges scored the rematch in Usyk’s favour once again, allowing the 37-year-old the retain his belts and undefeated status.

The bout also featured the controversial use of an experimental AI judge as part of an experiment championed by Turki Alalshikh, Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment chairman.

The computer generated scorecard had no impact on the result of the actual fight and was simply present for research purposes, which is probably a good thing for Fury, given how his performance was scored.

While all three judges scored 116-112 in Usyk’s favour, AI scored the match 118-112 in the Ukrainian’s favour and awarded him the third, fourth, and sixth to 11th rounds.

Meanwhile, Fury was given the second and fifth rounds while the first and last were considered a tie.

The harsh scoring inevitably made it’s way back to Fury after going viral on the internet, and the 36-year-old did not hold back his thoughts during a later press conference.

“F**k all computers,” he told reporters after being asked for his thoughts on using AI in sports.

“Keep the humans going. More jobs for humans, less jobs for computers.

The boxer also shared his scathing thoughts on modern technology as well, adding: “And f**k electric cars too while we’re at it.”

Despite the expletive filled reaction from Fury, Alalshikh remained positive about the future of AI in boxing, sharing an image of the computer generated scorecard on X alongside the caption: “Here’s The Ring’s AI-powered judge’s experimental scorecard from the Usyk2Fury fight.

“While it didn’t influence the official result, it offers a unique and unbiased perspective on the fight.”

Fury also revealed that he thought the fight had gone in his favour, telling Sky Sports: “I swear to God, I thought I won by three rounds!”

His promoter Frank Warren was also left baffled by the final scorecards, branding the judge’s decision as ‘nuts’.

“It’s impossible. It’s crazy. It’s a nonsense. What fight were they watching?” Warren told DAZN (via The Independent).

“It’s nuts. It’s nuts, I don’t get it. I’m really disappointed with that. I thought he was in control of the fight and boxed extremely well. Usyk was on the back foot for most of the fight, but it is what it is.”
