Despite a unanimous decision against him by all three judges, Fury refuses to accept the Ukrainian fighter has now beaten him in back-to-back title bouts

But Fury offered his contrasting belief at the post-fight press conference: “I thought I won that fight. I thought I won both fights but I’m going home with two losses on my record. There’s not much I can do about it. I can just fight my heart out.
