Tyson Fury's X-rated response as first AI boxing judge scores Oleksandr Usyk fight

Tyson Fury has lambasted an artificial intelligence judge's scoring of his loss to Oleksandr Usyk, furiously stating, "F*** all computers".

The 'Gypsy King' suffered another upset at the hands of his 37-year-old adversary in Saudi Arabia, further tarnishing what was once an impeccable record. Despite a close battle, Usyk retained his WBA, WBO, and WBC titles after a unanimous points decision, which left Fury visibly exasperated.

Every judge's scorecard read 116-112 for Usyk, but the controversy didn't end there. Adding insult to injury, an AI-powered fourth judge also deemed Fury the loser.

Although this innovative judge played no official role in the fight's outcome, Turki Alalshikh championed what he heralded as a pioneering trial to ensure impartial judgment in boxing. The experimental AI gave Usyk an even wider victory margin at 118-112.

Upon hearing about the AI's evaluation, Fury's response was clear and cutting: "F*** all computers," he declared, advocating "More jobs for humans".

Fury's criticism did not stop with the digital domain; he was nearly as sceptical of the human judges. He believed he had triumphed when the final bell rang.

In a conversation with Sky Sports, Fury expressed his disbelief: "I swear to God, I thought I won by three rounds!"

He further vented to ESPN, claiming, "I thought I won the fight again; I was Larry Holmesed again. I was on the front foot the entire time. When you don't get the knockout, this is what can happen."

In the build-up to the anticipated match-up between Fury and Usyk, Alalshikh backed an unconventional approach. "For the first time ever, an AI-powered judge will monitor the fight," he declared. "Free from bias and human error."

His pursuit of transparency extended to a video message: "For years, boxing has been defined by its glory, but sometimes that glory is clouded by doubt and controversy. Isn't it time for fairness to step into the ring?"

The promoter elaborated, adding: "This isn't just AI, it's revolutionizing boxing. It's fairness powered by technology and human expertise."

However, Fury was left contemplating the decision when he abruptly exited the ring on Saturday evening, voicing his dismay later to the press: "The judges gave him a Christmas gift. I feel like I won both fights.

"I know I had to knock him out, but it's boxing, and this happens. There is no doubt in my mind I won this fight.

"Frank [Warren] had me three or four rounds up, and a lot of people had me up by at least two."

Yet he refused to dwell negatively on the outcome, conceding: "I'm not going to cry over spilt milk; it's over now. I've been in boxing my whole life, but I'll always feel a little bit hard done by - not a little bit, a lot."
