    Controversial means something that causes public disagreement. The only one that matches that definition is Dubios -- somehow they managed to create a controversy out of it.

    Fury 2 is not controversial at all. The absolute majority of fans, including in Britain, believe that Usyk won. Take a look at the comment section for any YouTube video around the topic. Tyson and Warren were trying to artificially create this controversy but they failed.

    Breidis was the closest fight in Usyk's career but I don't remember any public disagreement over that.

    People who think that: you, Miniq, joeywill, Luka Mora, Uncle Frank and a couple of yes men.

    Even the biggest Fury 's arse lickers says Usyk won.

    Just move on. Find a new agenda mate. For example that Bakole will destroy Usyk's body and bring him into the deep waters. Or Dubois found himself and is ready for a rematch. Or Moses Itauma is too quick and strong for Usyk. But in the end of the day... It is just a cope. Fury lost first McDermott fight and should have been stopped for the cut vs Wallin (Vitali would have been stopped). Beardgate, Eiffeltrunksgate, Nadrolone, no rematch for Klitschko and the list goes on.

    Boxing is a better place without Fury with zero belts.

    No he had two close fights Briedis and Fury 1 but he clearly won both. Joshua 2 and Fury 2 were competitive but weren't close both were clear 8-4 victories maybe even 9-3 if you give Usyk the close rounds.

    What did Fury's corner tell him going into the last round?? Nowt controversial about the fight as the right man had his arm raised. Yes many of the rounds were close but one man edged most of them....and it WASNT anyone called Fury

    Briedis (I and many others scored it a draw)
    Dubois (the whole low blow argument)

    as someone else mentioned, fury 1 could have been controversial had there been no KD.

    The dubois controversy is stupid, the guy quit, He said no mas I am not getting up. But by K.Oing AJ I think he has earned a rematch fairly.

    I think at best yoi can argue a draw vs briedis and fury 2 but its reaching imo. To me usyk won close but clear fights. And the dubois fight for the ko argument but he got schooled the whole fight abd stopped on a jab.

    People will claim Dubois stopped him with a fair body shot.

    I'll be the one to decide what's controversial, not the controversy surrounding anything.
