Chisora to Referee: "The Slowest Count in History"

British boxer Derek Chisora addressed referee Mark Nelson, who officiated the bout between Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs) and Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs).

- That was the slowest count in boxing history, bro, you know that. Now you got all your math right. It was 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. That's what it was. It doesn't matter, man, we accept it. Listen, that was the slowest count in boxing history. Do you understand?

But the fight was great. We enjoyed the match Saudi Arabia put on. The rematch will be incredible.

- Derek, what did you think when the judges' scores were announced after the fight? Did you think Tyson did enough, were you sure Oleksandr Usyk...

- Oleksandr Usyk did enough, bro. I still had a split decision, so I want a little money," said Chisora.

The Usyk – Fury fight ended with a split decision from the judges: 115:112, 114:112, 113:114. Oleksandr Usyk is now a two-time undisputed world champion.
