Commentator Steve Bunce believes the reason Tyson Fury fled the ring immediately after the scores were announced in his loss to unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk last Saturday night was because Daniel Dubois entered the ring.
An Embarrassing Spectacle
Bunce feels that when Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs) saw IBF heavyweight champion Dubois enter the ring to call out Usyk (23-0, 14 KOs), he wouldn’t stand and watch. That would have put Fury in an uncomfortable position and made him look bad.
It’s unclear who decided to allow Dubois to enter the ring. Whoever it was, they obviously didn’t consider how it would make the prideful ex-WBC champion Fury look.
The high-ranking person who made the call to let Dubois in the ring may have overlooked how it would put the Napoleonic Fury in a humiliating position, being ignored like driftwood. The emperor was reduced to a secondary person with that move.
It shouldn’t have happened…
