Tyson Fury has once more called into question his latest career loss to world champion, Oleksandr Usyk — claiming the Ukrainian was “gifted” his decision win in Saudi Arabia as Christmas approaches next week, as he stares down a second career loss successively. Fury, a former undisputed WBC heavyweight kingpin, made his return to the ring tonight alongside Usyk for the first time since they locked horns back in May, with the latter becoming the first undisputed world heavyweight boxing champion in the ‘four-belt era’ — courtesy of a split decision win after almost forcing a stoppage in the ninth…
The NCAA has updated the Questions and Answers document they released in October regarding the settlements in the House case, and the Hubbard and Carter cases.
