Twenty million people illegally streamed the 'Ring of Fire' bout between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.
Ukrainian Usyk became the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the world since Lennox Lewis in 1999 when he secured a split decision win over The Gypsy King.
Usyk hammered Fury in the ninth round, and it appeared that it was the ropes themselves that prevented the fight from being stopped by the referee, as Fury fell back into them on multiple occasions.
Andre Rozier believes that Tyson Fury had to do more in the crucial championship rounds against Oleksandr Usyk.
Fury was rocked badly in the ninth round before recovering brilliantly, but he was still unable to pull the fight back in his favour.
Usyk finished the bout stronger after Fury dominated the middle rounds, and a big push towards the finish line was enough give him the win.
Rozier, one of boxing’s most respected trainers, has had his say on the contest and why he thinks Fury lost.
“I think Usyk won. I was pulling for Fury, but he didn’t do enough in the 11th and 12th round to pull it off,” said Rozier when speaking to FightHype.
