Despite coming close to being knocked out, Fury believed he had done enough to win the fight on the night. He said: “I believe I won that fight. And I believe he won a few of the rounds, but I won the majority of them.
“I believe we both put on a good fight – best we could do. And, you know, his country is at war. People are siding with the country at war. Make no mistake, I won that fight in my opinion.”
